Clinical Markers of Dysphagia in Cardiac Surgical Patients

Running, not enrolling

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases, Dysphagia

In brief

Although dysphagia is a known complication of cardiac surgery, risk factors and sensitive bedside clinical markers of dysphagia have not yet been identified. This longitudinal study will enroll 380 cardiac surgical patients and identify contributing risk factors of incident cases of dysphagia and identify sensitive bedside markers of dysphagia. Statistical modeling will produce two pragmatic clinical tools - a risk prediction model and a beside screening tool to improve care models.
