Abstract:ObjectiveTo assess the risk of aspiration associated with post‐swallow residue subsites in Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) in bottle‐fed infants <1 year of age.MethodsThis is a retrospective matched‐pairs cohort study at an academic tertiary children's hospital. FEES and Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) trials performed within the same infant <5 days apart were paired by matching bolus consistency and bottle flow rate. Positive aspiration was defined by the “or rule” in whi… Show more
