ACCOUGH-P/A
HNC
The ACCOUGH features will be identified in HNC patients, and the correlation between observed P/A and ACCOUGH will be investigated to determine a set of descriptive ACCOUGH features as biomarkers of P/A in HNC patients (ACCOUGH-P/A). The FEES examination enables the simultaneous observation of P/A occurrence in HNC patients and the acoustic recording of coughing. Swallowing trials performed during the FEES include 2 × 5 ml of water (IDDSI 0), 2 × 20 ml of water (IDDSI 0), 2 × 5 ml of thickened water (IDDSI 4) and 2 × ¼ of a rusk as solid food (IDDSI 7). All FEES pictures and videos will be recorded for later examination.
