Summary
This study checked if a Turkish version of the Bolus Residue Scale (BRS) is a reliable way to measure swallowing problems in people who recently had a stroke. Researchers looked at video recordings of 40 patients swallowing and had experts rate the results. The goal was to make sure the scale works well in Turkish, so doctors can better assess and treat swallowing issues after a stroke.

Who is studied
The study population consisted of adult patients with acute stroke who were referred for videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) as part of routine clinical care. All participants underwent swallowing assessment using standardized residue and swallowing scales. No intervention was applied, and all evaluations were conducted within standard clinical practice.
