note = "The presence of dysphagia in patients who hace suffered a
troke is considered to be the most frequent complication.
Different methods are used for its detection. Some
radiological ones like videofluoroscopy, considered to be
the gold standard, even though not always accesible owing
to the lack of economic and physical resources in health
centres. Therefore, “Clinical Bedside Asseessment”
methods, as the Volume-Viscosity Test (V-VST) are a good
alternative. The objective of this study was to describe
the frequence of dysphagia and the associated factors (age,
sex, diagnosis, history of stroke, signs of lack of
security, dependence and diet) in patients hospitalised due
to stroke in the Neurology Unit (Stroke Unit) of the
Hospital Clínico Universitario Lozano Blesa, in Zaragoza,
as well as analysing the positive and negative predictive
values of the V-VST test during the months February to May
2016.",
