Usefulness of the Modified Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale in Determining the Allowance of Oral Feeding in Patients with Dysphagia Due to Deconditioning or Frailty.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: In patients with dysphagia due to deconditioning or frailty, as with other disorders that cause swallowing disorders, the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is the gold standard for dysphagia evaluation. However, the interpretation of VFSS results is somewhat complicated and requires considerable experience in the field. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the usefulness of the modified videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (mVDS) in determining whether to allow oral feeding in patients with dysphagia due to deconditioning or frailty. Methods: Data from the VFSS of 50 patients with dysphagia due to deconditioning or frailty were retrospectively collected. We evaluated the association between mVDS and the selected feeding method based on VFSS findings, and between mVDS and the presence of aspiration pneumonia. Results: Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the mVDS total score had a significant association with oral feeding methods based on VFSS findings in patients with dysphagia due to deconditioning or frailty (p < 0.05). In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the area under the ROC curve for the selected feeding method was 0.862 (95% confidence interval, 0.747−0.978; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: mVDS seems a valid scale for determining the allowance of oral feeding, and it can be a useful tool in the clinical setting and in studies that aim to interpret VFSS findings in patients with dysphagia due to deconditioning or frailty. However, studies involving a more general population of patients with dysphagia due to deconditioning or frailty are needed.
