Objectives: To evaluate videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) findings in infants with dysphagia and without prior diagnoses, and to characterize the outcomes and any diagnoses that follow. Methods: A chart review of all pediatric patients who received a VFSS at a tertiary children’s hospital from November 2008 to March 2017 was performed. Results: There were 106 infants (57 males and 49 females) with 108 VFSS. VFSS was normal in 18 (16.98%) infants. Regarding airway protection, 50 (47.17%) infants had laryngeal penetration, and 8 (7.55%) had tracheal aspiration; 3 (2.83%, 37.5% of all aspirators) exhibited silent aspiration. Of the 75 infants with minimum 2-year follow-up, 35 (46.67%) had no sequelae of disease and received no diagnoses. The most common diagnoses and pathologic sequelae were gastroesophageal reflux (n = 18, 24.00%), asthma (n = 8, 10.67%), laryngomalacia (n = 6, 8.00%), and tracheomalacia (n = 4, 5.33%), all consistent with United States pediatric data on prevalence. All infants (n = 51) with follow-up for dysphagia had resolution of symptoms within 9 months from VFSS order date. Conclusions: Otherwise healthy infants may show signs of dysphagia and not develop later illness. Parents can thus be counseled on the implications of dysphagia in a previously healthy infant. Our findings provide comparative statistics for future research in pediatric dysphagia.

Objective: To measure the accuracy of DeglutiSom as an auxiliary method to assess swallowing in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methodology: Accuracy study. Among 248 individuals, 91 participants met the inclusion criteria, with a mean age of 64.9 years (SD 7.7), 53.8% male and 46.2% female, with a mean disease duration of 12.6 years (SD 3.8 years). Two instrumental studies were performed: An acoustic analysis with Sonar Doppler via the DeglutiSom Software, and a videofluoroscopic swallow study. Three judges analyzed the swallowing sounds in the DeglutiSom software and the instrumental examination findings. Results: The inter-rater reliability was 90.1%, with 4.4% degree of partial agreement and 5.5% disagreement. Sensitivity resulted in 90.0% and specificity in 90.0%. A sensitivity of 97.0% and specificity of 91.0% are indicators of a high validity for the dysphagia screening method, with predictive value (+) of 97.0% and predictive value (-) of 91.0%, with an accuracy method of 96.0%. The validity indicator values for screening aspiration were also high, with a sensitivity of 90.0%, specificity of 90.0%, predictive value (+) of 82.0%, predictive value (-) of 95% , 0% and 90.0% accuracy. Conclusion: The method proposed is considered appropriate for oropharyngeal dysphagia and tracheal aspiration screening in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
