Variability in Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing Documentation Templates: A Cross-Sectional Database Study

Promoting standardization in FEES reporting is critical for not only improving dysphagia evaluation and management but also enabling multi-institutional research and clinical collaborations to care for patients with swallowing conditions.
