Dysphagia Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Development and Validation of the SWADOC Tool: A Study Protocol for a Multicentric Prospective Cohort Study
Background: After a period of coma, patients with severe brain injury may present disorders of consciousness (DOC). A wide proportion of these patients also suffer from severe dysphagia. Assessment and therapy of swallowing disabilities of DOC patients are essential because dysphagia has major functional consequences and comorbidities. Dysphagia evaluation in patients with DOC is hampered by the lack of adapted tools. The first aim of the study was to develop a new tool, the SWallowing Assessment in Disorders Of Consciousness (SWADOC), and propose a validation protocol. The SWADOC tool has been developed to help therapists to apprehend components related to swallowing in patients with DOC. The second aim is to appreciate the relationship between patients' level of consciousness and SWADOC items and scores. Method/design: In this multicentric prospective cohort, 104 patients with DOC will be tested three times during two consecutive days with the SWADOC tool. Statistical analyses will focus on the reliability and validity of the SWADOC tool, especially the intra and inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, measures of dispersion and concurrent validity with the FOTT Swallowing Assessment of Saliva (FOTT-SAS). The level of consciousness will be assessed with the Simplified Evaluation of CONsciousness Disorders (SECONDs) and the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) Discussion: The assessment of swallowing abilities among patients with DOC is the first necessary step towards the development of an individualized dysphagia care plan. A validated scoring tool will be essential for clinicians to better apprehend dysphagia in DOC patients and to document the evolution of their disorders.
