32/100

✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 32 out of 100. Clinical safety

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Instrumental assessments (Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study [VFSS], Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing [FEES]) and the Water Swallow Test were most frequently used.ICF mapping revealed that 96.7% of tools focused on body functions, while only approximately 20% addressed participation and environmental factors.Self/caregiver-report questionnaires covered multidimensional domains but were limited by subjectivity, whereas instrumental assessments were objective but restricted to body functions. Current assessments prioritize physiological safety, often overlooking actual eating activities and environmental contexts.Future research should focus on developing ICF-based standardized observational tools to objectively assess eating behaviors, environmental factors, and body functions.This approach will support occupational therapist-led integrated rehabilitation to improve the quality of life of patients.(J

Why it matters

This review of swallowing assessment tools found most focus on body functions and few address eating activities or the person's environment. It calls for new standardised tools to guide rehabilitation and improve quality of life, but reports no treatment or cure.
