Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Specific objectives:

* Evaluation of morbidity and mortality associated with the severity of pharyngeal residue in patients admitted to Hotêl-Dieu de France university hospital for Stroke based on the "The Yale pharyngeal residue scale"
* Evaluation of the accuracy of screening protocol of Dysphagia at the Emergency Department in patients admitted for stoke based on the "Emergency Department Dysphagia Screening Tool"

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dysphagia after stroke is common, affecting 27% to 64% of patients. Complications of dysphagia include aspiration leading to chest infection and pneumonia, malnutrition, inability to rehabilitate, increased risk of infection, prolonged length of stay in hospital, and an increased risk of death.

Deglutologists who use FEES have long lamented the fact that there was no reliable, validated, anatomically defined, image-based, and easily used pharyngeal residue severity rating scale. All that one had to rely on was the "impression" of residue severity, the definition of which varied from endoscopist to endoscopist In order for any scale to gain widespread acceptance, it must be user friendly, easy to learn, reliable to interpret, and generalizable to all patients undergoing FEES. Such a scale now exists, and it is the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale

Need for a trial: The relation between the severity of the pharyngeal residue and the risk of aspiration and subsequently the morbidity and mortality in stroke patients is not well defined yet.

Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the morbidity and mortality associated with the severity of pharyngeal residue in a specific population: stroke patients

Another objective of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of Emergency department (ED) dysphagia screening in stroke patients compared to a standard swallowing evaluation with FEES.

All patients admitted to Hotêl-Dieu de France university hospital for stroke will be evaluated for dysphagia using the ED dysphagia-screening tool. Preliminary data on the accuracy of the "ED dysphagia screening tool" are promising (Sensitivity of 96%)

In this study outcomes between 2 groups will be evaluated; (ED failed screening group and ED Screening passed group) and thus be able to validate results of previous studies concerning sensitivity and accuracy of the screening tool mentioned previously and finally to be able to identify stroke patients eligible for early oral nutrition.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

* Dysphagia screening in the Emergency department for any patient admitted to Hotêl-Dieu de France university hospital for Stroke based on the " Emergency department dysphagia-screening tool".
* Subjets will be then sorted in two groups:

\> 1-Screening passed \> 2-Screening failed

• Subjets within the two groups will after than have FEES with videotaping of pharyngeal phase after giving subjects a standardised food consisting of "thin Puree". An ENT resident blinded to the result of the screening test will do this intervention.
