Acronym
SWAL-QOL

Description
The SWAL-QOL is a 44-item questionnaire that is designed to assess dysphagia over 10 quality of life domains, and it has a supplemental section on symptom frequency. The 10 domains are burden, eating duration, eating desire, food selection, communication, fear, mental health, social role, fatigue, and sleep. The symptom scale includes 14 dysphagia-related symptoms: coughing, choking, gagging, and drooling. Each domain is scored on a 5-point Likert scale that ranges from 1 (worst state) to 5 (best state). All scales are transformed to provide a range of 0 to 100, in which a score of “0” represents the worst score and “100” the most ideal score.
