Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to translate and validate the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing scale The Boston Residue and Clearance Scale - BRACS to European Portuguese
Detailed Description: The Boston Residue and Clearance Scale BRACS is a multidimensional scale developed and validated to assess the severity of residues observed during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing FEES
It differs from other FEES residue scales since it considers all aspects related to pharyngolaryngeal residues specifically the location amount and the patients clearance ability
The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the English version of the BRACS into European Portuguese and to investigate the reliability and validity of the translated version of the scale
