    Stroke 34:1252-7. 2003
    ..Dysphagia is common after stroke and is a marker of poor prognosis. Early identification is important. This article reviews the merits and limitations of various assessment methods available to clinicians...

    Dysphagia 20:105-7. 2005
    ..We conclude that the gag reflex is as specific as but less sensitive than the BSA in detecting dysphagia in acute stroke patients. An intact gag may be protective against longer-term swallowing problems and the need for enteral feeding...

    Dysphagia 20:218-25. 2005
    ..The phenomenon of silent aspiration is poorly understood and further research is needed to improve methods of detection and thereby better define its prevalence and prognostic significance...

    Department of Stroke Medicine, King s College London School of Medicine, Bessemer Road, London, SE5 9PJ UK
    Stroke 37:2984-8. 2006
    ..Desaturation during swallowing may help to identify aspiration in stroke patients. This study investigated pulse oximetry, bedside swallowing assessment (BSA), and videofluoroscopy as tests for detecting aspiration after stroke...
