External validation of the predictive swallow score for dysphagia in stroke patients
Further validation of the PRESS score in prospective cohorts is warranted. The suboptimal model performance could be attributed to temporal advances in stroke care, as the original PRESS cohort was derived between 2011 and 2014. Geographic variability in acute stroke care practice could also be a factor, as the PRESS score was derived solely from a European cohort. This study, however, is limited by its retrospective design and a lack of generalizability.
