The 3-month outcomes gave a strong indication of performance at 1 year. There were several strong correlations found between measures. The strongest was between the 3-month Performance Status Scale for Head and Neck Cancer (PSSHN) and the 12-month PSSHN (rs\u2009=\u20090.761, n\u2009=\u200917), the 12-month PSSHN and the 12-month Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) (rs\u2009=\u20090.823, n\u2009=\u200920), and the 12-month University of Washington Head and Neck Quality of Life (UWQoL) swallow and the 12-month Water Swallow Test (WST) capacity (rs\u2009=\u20090.759, n\u2009=\u200917).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The UW-QoL swallow item and WST are easy to incorporate into routine care and should be used as part of a standard assessment of swallow outcome. These measures can serve to help screen patients for dysfunction and focus allocation of resources for those who would benefit from more comprehensive assessment and intervention by SLT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1708896","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,23]],"date-time":"2020-06-23T23:23:07Z","timestamp":1592954587000},"page":"e185-e192","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Routine Use of Swallowing Outcome Measures Following Head and Neck Cancer in a Multidisciplinary Clinic Setting"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2652-6209","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annette C.","family":"Zuydam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5989-6142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon N.","family":"Rogers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evidence-Based Practice Research Centre, Faculty of Health and Social Care, Edge Hill University, Ormskirk, United Kingdom"},{"name":"Regional Maxillofacial Unit, University Hospital Aintree, Liverpool, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Grayson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Statistics by Design, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clare F.","family":"Probert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Swallowing following Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer: Functional and Quality of Life Outcomes","author":"J WG Roe","year":"2013"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599811414506","article-title":"Dysphagia after nonsurgical head and neck cancer treatment: patients' perspectives","volume":"145","author":"J A Wilson","year":"2011","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1067","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-012-2092-6","article-title":"Issues patients would like to discuss at their review consultation: variation by early and late stage oral, oropharyngeal and laryngeal subsites","volume":"270","author":"A Kanatas","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.2147\/PROM.S129012","article-title":"Using PROMs to guide patients and practitioners through the head and neck cancer journey","volume":"8","author":"S N Rogers","year":"2017","journal-title":"Patient Relat Outcome Meas"},{"issue":"S 02","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S176","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215116000608","article-title":"Speech and swallow rehabilitation in head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines","volume":"130","author":"P Clarke","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"issue":"S 01","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S29","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-007-0470-2","article-title":"An evaluation of the University of Washington Quality of Life swallowing domain following oropharyngeal cancer","volume":"265","author":"L Thomas","year":"2008","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oraloncology.2015.10.015","article-title":"Swallowing outcome measures in head and neck cancer--How do they compare?","volume":"52","author":"A Pedersen","year":"2016","journal-title":"Oral Oncol"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref9","first-page":"870","article-title":"The development and validation of a dysphagia-specific quality-of-life questionnaire for patients with head and neck cancer: the M.
