Swallowing problems are common and aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death in this population. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical method for managing the motor symptoms of PD when pharmacological management begins to fail. As DBS may have a deleterious effect on swallowing, it is important to identify baseline dysfunction, but no consensus regarding screening for abnormalities exists. This study was undertaken to identify the prevalence and characteristics of abnormal swallowing function prior to DBS. 000008325 540__ $$fCC BY 000008325 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008325 650__ $$aDeglutition$$017439 000008325 650__ $$aSurgical Procedures, Operative$$026655 000008325 650__ $$aDeep Brain Stimulation$$035838 000008325 650__ $$aParkinson Disease$$023617 000008325 650__ $$aNeurodegenerative Diseases$$031750 000008325 650__ $$aPneumonia, Aspiration$$024305 000008325 6531_ $$aswallowing 000008325 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008325 692__ $$aDepartment of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery$$041437 000008325 7001_ $$aPalmer, Andrew$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008325 7001_ $$aBryans, Linda$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008325 7001_ $$aBritton, Deanna$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008325 7001_ $$aAnderson, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008325 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008325 8564_ $$970de0d68-5643-4003-9d64-07f32a267197$$s43075$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8325/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Palmer.Andrew.pdf 000008325 905__ $$a/rest/prod/m6/13/mz/24/m613mz241 000008325 980__ $$aResearch Week
