Different OD phenotypes are defined on the basis of characteristic patterns at fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), and they may vary during disease progression. Objective: To describe OD phenotypes in different HD stages and to analyze their association with neurological data and tongue pressure measurements. Methods: Twenty-four patients with HD at different stages of disease progression underwent a FEES. Data on penetration\/aspiration, pharyngeal residue, and OD phenotypes were gained. Neurological examination was performed with the Unified Huntington\u2019s Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS). Patient Maximum tongue pressure (MTP) and tongue endurance were measured. Results: We confirmed that the occurrence of penetration\/aspiration increased with disease duration and pharyngeal residue increased from 16.7% to 100%, respectively. The most common OD phenotypes were oropharyngeal dyspraxia (91.7%), posterior oral incontinence (87.5%), and delayed pharyngeal phase (87.5%). These types of dysfunctions are already detectable in &gt;80% of patients in the early disease stages. In more advanced stages, we also observed propulsion deficit (66.7%), resistive issue (54.2%), and protective deficit (37.5%). Propulsion deficit was associated with higher disease stage, greater motor dysfunction (UHDRS-I), and lower MTP and tongue endurance (p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.05). Conclusions: OD in HD results from a combination of different swallowing phenotypes. Early assessment of swallowing and periodical follow-ups are necessary to monitor OD severity and phenotypes and to revise diet recommendations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jhd-231519","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,28]],"date-time":"2024-05-28T14:06:49Z","timestamp":1716905209000},"page":"225-235","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Oropharyngeal
