Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how a dedicated outpatient clinic improves the diagnosis and management of neurogenic dysphagia.
  • Implemented a dysphagia outpatient clinic focusing on diagnosis and therapy.
  • Utilized FEES (Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) for diagnostic phenotyping.
  • Monitored patients for silent aspiration and nutritional support.
  • Developed strategies for airway management and therapeutic targeting.
  • Improved diagnostic precision and identification of neurological syndromes.
  • Increased recognition of silent aspiration as a pneumonia risk factor.
  • Enhanced individualized nutritional management in patients with dysphagia.

Abstract

A dedicated outpatient dysphagia clinic enhances diagnostic precision, optimizes therapy, and supports individualized nutritional and airway management. FEES-based phenotyping strengthens differential diagnostics and enables the identification of previously unrecognized neurological syndromes. Silent aspiration and frailty identify patients at the highest pneumonia risk. Dysphagia should be regarded as an independent therapeutic target within disease-specific neurological treatment, and dysphagia outpatient clinics should be integrated into standard neurological care pathways.
