Summary
A journal club episode reviewing a retrospective cohort study on the incidence and risk factors of dysphagia confirmed by FEES in very preterm and very low birth weight infants with persistent feeding difficulties at 38 weeks post-menstrual age. The presenters discuss whether dysphagia is under-recognised, whether earlier instrumental swallow assessment could change outcomes, and what a diagnosis means for families.
