Abstract

This White Paper by the European Society for Swallowing Disorders (ESSD) reports on the current state of screening and non-instrumental assessment for dysphagia in adults. An overview is provided on the measures that are available, and how to select screening tools and assessments. Emphasis is placed on different types of screening, patient-reported measures, assessment of anatomy and physiology of the swallowing act, and clinical swallowing evaluation. Many screening and non-instrumental assessments are available for evaluating dysphagia in adults; however, their use may not be warranted due to poor diagnostic performance or lacking robust psychometric properties. This white paper provides recommendations on how to select best evidence-based screening tools and non-instrumental assessments for use in clinical practice targeting different constructs, target populations and respondents, based on criteria for diagnostic performance, psychometric properties (reliability, validity, and responsiveness), and feasibility. In addition, gaps in research that need to be addressed in future studies are discussed. The following recommendations are made: (1) discontinue the use of non-validated dysphagia screening tools and assessments; (2) implement screening using tools that have optimal diagnostic performance in selected populations that are at risk of dysphagia, such as stroke patients, frail older persons, patients with progressive neurological diseases, persons with cerebral palsy, and patients with head and neck cancer; (3) implement measures that demonstrate robust psychometric properties; and (4) provide quality training in dysphagia screening and assessment to all clinicians involved in the care and management of persons with dysphagia.

Methodologies and interpretation of Classic Test Theory (CTT) findings are easier to interpret than those of Item Response Theory (IRT); however, the CTT framework has some limitations. In IRT the unit of analysis and results are not restricted to the test population, whereas in CTT the evaluation of psychometric properties is specific to the test population. In addition, IRT evaluates the reliability of each individual item, while CTT assesses the performance of a measure as a whole [43]. IRT models estimate both item and person parameters within the same model, calculate person-free parameter estimation and item-free trait level estimation, and identify optimal scaling of individual differences based on the evaluation of differential item functioning [44].

The Delphi technique is a structured process which aims to develop group consensus on a defined topic through a series of survey rounds [107]. The same participants complete each round (although some individuals may discontinue participating). Rounds are held until consensus is reached (or it becomes apparent that consensus cannot be reached). Results from previous rounds are used to inform participants about changes that may facilitate consensus in subsequent rounds [108]. Using the Delphi technique enables large number of individuals across diverse locations and areas of expertise to be included anonymously, thus avoiding domination of the consensus process by one or a few experts [107].
