The effect of liquid consistency on penetration-aspiration: a Bayesian analysis of two large datasets

Borders JC and Steele CM. The effect of liquid consistency on penetration-aspiration: a Bayesian analysis of two large datasets. Front Rehabil Sci. 2024; 5:1337971.
This study aimed to assess the impact of liquid consistency on penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) scores using a Bayesian multilevel ordinal regression model, considering scores from repeated bolus trials. Additionally, the study aimed to determine if PAS scores differed across thickener type within each consistency.
