UNASSIGNED: Thickeners are used in post- @entity64 @entity1282 ( @entity1282 ) as a compensatory therapeutic strategy against @entity1173 . To compare the therapeutic effects of @entity3517 ( @entity3517 ) and xanthan gum (XG) thickeners on swallow safety and efficacy in chronic post- @entity64 @entity1282 @entity1 using clinical and videofluoroscopic (VFS) assessment. @entity1 were studied by clinical assessment (volume-viscosity swallow test, V-VST) and VFS using 3 volumes (5, 10, 20  mL) and 3 viscosities (liquid, nectar and spoon thick), comparing @entity3517 and XG. We studied 122 @entity1 (46MS, 76XG). (A) V-VST showed that both thickeners similarly improved safety of swallow. Prevalence of safe swallowing significantly increased with enhanced viscosity (P  <  0.001 vs liquid), @entity3517 : 47.83  % at liquid, 84.93  % at nectar and 92.96  % at spoon thick; XG: 55.31  % at liquid, 77.78  % at nectar and 97.84  % at spoon thick. @entity1 on @entity3517 reported higher prevalence of pharyngeal residue at spoon-thick viscosities. (B) VFS: increasing bolus viscosity with either thickener increased prevalence of safe swallows (P  <  0.001 vs liquid), @entity3517 : 30.25  % liquid, 61.07  % nectar and 92.64  % spoon thick; XG: 29.12  % liquid, 71.30  % nectar and 89.91  % spoon thick. Penetration-aspiration scale score was significantly reduced with increased viscosity with both thickeners. @entity3517 increased oral and pharyngeal residues at nectar and spoon-thick viscosities but XG did not. Timing of airway protection mechanisms and bolus velocity were not affected by either thickener. Increasing bolus viscosity with @entity3517 and XG thickeners strongly and similarly improved safety of swallow in chronic post- @entity64 @entity1282 by a compensatory mechanism; in contrast only @entity3517 thickeners increased oropharyngeal residue.
