“…An A-EAT-10 score of ≥3 was considered to be indicative of abnormal swallowing based on the original work of Belafsky et al [5]. However, 2 other EAT-10 values have been reported in the literature [2, 6]. Rofes et al [6] suggested that reducing the cutoff value from 3 to 2 increased the test’s sensitivity by 5% without affecting specificity.…”

“…Rofes et al [6] suggested that reducing the cutoff value from 3 to 2 increased the test’s sensitivity by 5% without affecting specificity. Alternatively, Farahat and Mosallem [2] gave a mean score of 5.8 for dysphagia symptoms in a control group of 83 asymptomatic individuals in their validation of the A-EAT-10. The authors of the present study chose to abide by the cutoff value of Belafsky et al [5] in order to avoid false-negative or false-positive results.…”

“…One of these questionnaires is the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), which is a tool used to explore the presence of swallowing problems and their general impact on a patient. The questionnaire was recently validated for Arabic patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia and termed the Arabic version of the Eating Assessment Tool (A-EAT-10) [2]. …”

Background: Although diabetes mellitus is a well-researched systemic endocrinal disease, literature is scarce addressing the co-occurrence of oropharyngeal dysphagia with diabetes. Objective: The aim of this work was to screen Egyptian diabetic patients for symptoms suggestive of oropharyngeal dysphagia using the validated Arabic version of the Eating Assessment Tool (A-EAT-10). Participants and Methods: 200 Egyptian adult diabetic patients, aged from 18 to 59 years participated in the study. The inclusion criteria were being diabetic patients of type 1 or type 2. Patients were asked to complete the A-EAT-10 questionnaire. Results: Age progression and being female were found to be risk factors for dysphagia among diabetic patients participating in this study. The most common symptom among diabetic patients who complained of dysphagia was “I cough when I eat.” Conclusion: The present study suggests the presence of oropharyngeal swallowing problems among patients with diabetes mellitus.

“…While many of these screening questionnaires exhibit high internal consistency and test-retest reliability, the EAT-10 has gained the most widespread popularity due to its ease of use both in administering and scoring the questionnaire. This is evidenced by the translation and validation of the EAT-10 into Spanish [17], Portuguese (Brazilian and European) [18, 19], Italian [20], Arabic [21], Turkish [22], and Swedish [23]. …”

Background and Objectives: Dysphagia is a common disability with different etiologies. In order to measure dysphagia symptom severity and effects on quality of life, the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) was developed and validated in the English language. We aimed to develop a Hebrew version of the EAT-10 and to evaluate its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and validity in Hebrew-speaking adults with dysphagia. Subjects and Methods: The Hebrew EAT-10 (H-EAT-10) questionnaire was completed by 132 patients: 56 patients with dysphagia and 76 controls. Internal consistency analysis was calculated using Cronbach α, and test-retest reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficient in order to assess clinical validity. Results: Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were found to be high in the H-EAT-10 (Cronbach α = 0.955 and intraclass correla tion = 0.98). In addition, H-EAT-10 scores in the dysphagia group were found to be significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that H-EAT-10 is a reliable and valid tool that may be implemented for clinical practice and research on dysphagia in a Hebrew-speaking population.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a systemic endocrinal disease that results either from deficiency of insulin hormone (type 1) or from insulin resistance or both (type 2). Literature is scarce related to dysphagia with diabetes. This complaint is expressed by some patients and needs to be explored. A-EAT-10 is a questionnaire that explores the presence of dysphagia symptoms among patients. Aim: The aim of this work is to screen Egyptian diabetic patients (type 1 and type 2) in El-Demerdash Hospital for oropharyngeal dysphagia using the validated Arabic version of Eating Assessment Tool (A-EAT-10) questionnaire to explore the degree of such symptom among them. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study conducted to screen the diabetic patients (of both type 1 and type 2) in El-Demerdash Hospital for oropharyngeal dysphagia. Patients and Methods: 200 Egyptian adult diabetic patients, aged 18y.1m.1d-59y.12m.31d, were included in this study. The participants were selected upon certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were diabetic patients of type 1 and/or type 2. The exclusion criteria were any past or present history of disorders that might cause oropharyngeal dysphagia. Patients were asked to complete the Arabic version of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (A-EAT-10) questionnaire. It is formed of 10 questions, and used to detect the presence of dysphagia complaints among patients and how it affects them. Results: The increase in age and having a female gender were considered of high risk for dysphagia among diabetic patients participating in this study. The commonest symptom among diabetic patients who complained from dysphagia was "I cough when I eat". There is no relation between the type or duration of diabetes mellitus and the presence of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Conclusion: The present study showed that diabetic patients may encounter swallowing problems. The A-EAT 10 is an easy method that can be used for screening of swallowing difficulty.
