Conclusions
“Laryngeal penetration appears to be clinically significant in children with oropharyngeal dysphagia and interventions to decrease its occurrence are associated with improved outcomes including decreased symptoms of concern and hospitalization nights. Thickening or other feeding intervention should be considered for all symptomatic children with laryngeal penetration on swallow study.”
