“…Screening rates have been shown to vary with patient age, race (Black, Asian, Hispanic > White), stroke type (intracranial hemorrhage > ischemic stroke), stroke severity, off-hour admission, July admission, community versus in-hospital stroke, insurance status, academic hospital status, and history of atrial fibrillation (James et al, 2014;Joundi et al, 2017;Masrur et al, 2013;Park, Redelmeier, Li, Pongmoragot, & Saposnik, 2015;Reeves et al, 2009;Saltman et al, 2015;Saposnik et al, 2009;Smith et al, 2009;Xian et al, 2014). Screening rates do not vary by patient sex, smoking status, or weekend admission (Ali, Smith, Bhatt, Fonarow, & Schwamm, 2013;Fang, Saposnik, Silver, & Kapral, 2010;Kapral et al, 2011;Starr, Becker, & Tirschwell, 2016). There has been some exploration into increasing dysphagia screening rates using various programs (Hinchey et al, 2010;Stoeckle-Roberts et al, 2006).…”
