However, data on the association between swallowing function and clinical parameters in COPD remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate swallowing function using clinical screening tools in patients with COPD and to assess its relationship with demographic and clinical parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study included 60 COPD patients who were followed jointly at the Chest Diseases and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinics of a tertiary university hospital between April and July 2025. Patients\u2019 swallowing-related parameters were evaluated using the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) and the Repetitive Saliva Swallowing Test (RSST). Physical performance was assessed using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), respiratory function using spirometric parameters, and symptom severity using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and the modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC). Data analyses were performed using SPSS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age of patients was 68.75\u2009\u00b1\u20096.54 years, and 81.7% were male. According to the EAT-10 screening, the prevalence of self-reported dysphagia was 35%. There was a significant difference in EAT-10 scores between GOLD groups, whereas no difference was observed in RSST counts (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.020,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.111).

Patients with CAT scores\u2009\u2265\u200910 had higher EAT-10 scores (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001).

No significant correlations were found between swallowing-related parameters and age, BMI, smoking exposure, COPD duration, pulmonary function, or 6-MWT.
