Abstract The Oropharyngeal dysphagia is an underestimated symptom with various causes in the geriatric population. Clinical presentation is often insidious and dysphagia symptoms are seldomly mentioned by elder patients although causing many life-threatening complications. Objective: The aim of this work was to introduce an easy applicable tool to be used by caregivers and general practitioners for early detection of dysphagia in geriatrics to pick up the risky individuals and refer them as early as possible to receive the needed intervention. |
