Purpose Oropharyngeal dysphagia represents one of the most frequent postsurgical complications in head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patients, either as aspiration or as limitations of oral intake. At the moment, no dysphagia screening is available for this target population. This study aimed at the development of a water swallow test FraMaDySc that should reliably identify aspiration, limitations of oral intake and, first and foremost, relevant oropharyngeal dysphagia (ROD).
