Dysphagia Screening in Acute Stroke: Adaptation and Validation of the Modified Volume-Viscosity Swallowing Test With International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative Standards

The adapted MV-VST, using IDDSI standards, is a reliable and valid tool for the early identification of poststroke dysphagia, facilitating timely intervention. Despite limitations like the single-center design and small sample size, the study underscores the potential of the MV-VST in diverse dietary practices. Future research should focus on larger, multicenter studies and integrating advanced technologies for more precise assessments.
