In a prospective cross-sectional observational study we comprehensively evaluated the nature, severity, and impact of COD, its predictors, and the impact of the surgical approach and site of anastomosis. Forty participants were recruited via purposive sampling from the (Irish) National Center between November 2021 and August 2022. Swallow evaluations included videofluoroscopy [Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity v2 (DIGESTv2), MBS Impairment Profile, Penetration-Aspiration Scale)]. Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) identified oral intake status. The patient reported outcome measures of swallowing, and Quality of Life (QL) included EAT-10 and MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI). Fourteen (35%) participants presented with COD on DIGESTv2 and 10% had uncleared penetration\/aspiration. Avoidance or modification of diet on FOIS was observed in 17 (42.5%). FOIS was associated with pharyngeal dysphagia (OR\u2009=\u20094.05, P\u2009=\u20090.046). Median (range) EAT-10 and MDADI Composite results were 3(0\u201330) and 77.9(60\u201392.6), respectively. Aspiration rates significantly differed across surgical groups (P\u2009=\u20090.029); only patients undergoing transhiatal surgery aspirated. Survivors of esophageal cancer surgery may have COD that is undiagnosed, potentially impacting swallow-related QL. Given the small number of aspirators, further research is required to determine whether aspiration risk is associated with surgical approach. A FOIS score below 7 may be a clinically useful prompt for the MDT to refer for evaluation of COD following curative intent surgery. These data present findings that may guide preventive and rehabilitative strategies toward optimizing survivorship.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doae003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]],"date-time":"2024-01-06T08:14:19Z","timestamp":1704528859000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Nature,
