Ultrasound (US) is a good method to assess suprahyoid muscles and hyoid bone movement, and it can provide valuable information on swallowing. The aims of this study were to measure the biometry of the supraglottic muscles and hyoid bone movement during swallowing and elucidate the application of real-time US for assessing swallowing dysfunction.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n We collected data from HNC and thyroid cancer patients with dysphagia symptoms and healthy controls without a history of cancer or dysphagia symptoms for comparison. Real-time submental US was used to check the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, geniohyoid (GH) muscles, and hyoid bone movement during swallowing. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore significant US predictors of dysphagia. Based on the regression coefficients of independent variables, we established the nomogram prediction model for dysphagia.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n There were significant differences in GH size at contraction, GH size increase percentage, GH length at rest, GH length increase percentage, anterior displacement of the hyoid bone and superior displacement of the hyoid bone between the cancer survivors with dysphagia and volunteers without dysphagia. In multivariate logistic analysis, after adjusting for sex and age, the proportion of GH length contraction <22% (odds ratio [OR]: 6.8 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1\u201342.6) and hyoid bone superior displacement <3.3 mm (OR: 10.7, 1.8\u201364.1) were associated with a higher risk of dysphagia (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n We confirmed that GH muscle and hyoid bone movement are important for normal swallowing function. US is a good method to assess the suprahyoid muscles and hyoid bone movement, which could provide valuable information on swallowing.<\/jats:p>\n
