Summary

The Munich Swallowing Score (MUCSS) is a tool that evaluates saliva, liquid, and food swallowing abilities using two scales: one for saliva/secretions (MUCSS-S) and one for nutrition (MUCSS-N). It helps objectively assess swallowing function and track changes over time. Validating the MUCSS in Italian would aid in better managing neurogenic dysphagia patients.

It helps objectively assess swallowing function and track changes over time. It is an important outcome to consider the presence of a tracheostomy tube and the management of secretions in relation to nutritional methods.
