Abstract in brief

  • This study adapted and validated the Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST) for use with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), making it a reliable tool to assess swallowing difficulties in head and neck cancer patients.
  • It showed that the DIGESTFEES has high reliability between different raters and correlates well with other established measures of swallowing function, confirming its validity.
  • Overall, DIGESTFEES can effectively grade the severity of swallowing problems during FEES, helping clinicians better evaluate and manage dysphagia in this patient group.]
