Purpose of the study is the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPRSRS-T), so that it would be used as an assessment tool for dysphagia patients.
The swallow function is a multidirectional process that depends on complex neuro-muscular network. The function can be evaluated using instrumental, such as fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), videofluoroscopy, or well structured scales. There are many questionnaire and scales for assessment of swallow but very few have been validated. The study will assess the construct validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale as known as Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale.

Validation of Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale
To match between Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing Images with Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale Scores by health professionals. High match scores give high reliability, low match scores give low reliability. Match scores were compared and evaluated as statistically. High match score is better, low score is worse.
