Abstract Details

2002, MA, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences : Communication Sciences and Disorders.
The demographic and diagnostic trends of patients receiving FEES exams at a pediatric facility were examined. Relationships between diagnosis type, findings, recommendations, and other dysphagia evaluations were investigated. Data were collected from 99 pediatric FEES reports performed from April through December of 2001. The average age of a patient receiving the FEES exam was 49.47 months (approximately 4 years). A greater percentage of the patients in the study were males (59.6%) than females (40.4%). Males were also more prevalent in every diagnostic category, except those with a cardiovascular diagnosis where females dominated. The most frequent diagnoses were neurologic, structural, and other (congenital, acquired, and miscellaneous). Variations among findings and recommendations were found between diagnostic categories. Premature spillage was the most frequent finding across all diagnostic categories.
