About this trial

The first object of the study is the validation of a translation of the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Stroke Dysphagia Screen with determination of sensitivity, specificity, interrater reliability (especially between different professional groups) and criterion validity.

If the German translation proves to be suitable, it will also be validated on general neurological patients, i.e. patients on a neurological ward without a stroke.
