Summary

In order to discover dysphagia scales, which shows meaningful predictability of aspiration and functional health status in patients with acute stroke, authors plan to find out more predictable indicators than existing penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) to validate their predictions and their internal and external validity over 6 months following stroke .

Detailed description

To determine the dysphagia scale with significant predictions of aspiration and functional health status in patients with acute stroke, video-fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) will be performed to the patients who will be referred for VFSS among stroke patients who would be diagnosed by Brain MRI / CT. When any type of dysphagia is found, participant will be assigned to the test group (DYS), and when no dysphagia is found, they will be assigned to the control group (NOD). Numerous kinds of assessment will be conducted before and after VFSS, before discharge, and 3, 6, and 9 months after the stroke onset.
