The main goal of the current study was (1) to quantify the rate of swallowing disorders after SAH by using a simple clinical assessment tool, (2) to identify early predictors of dysphagia in all severity grades of SAH patients, and (3) to evaluate how dysphagia contributes to hospital complications, length of ICU stay, and poor outcome. CT computed tomography, EVD external ventricular drain, ICU intensive care unit, IQR interquartile range Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (*), the Chi-square test ( †), and the linear-by-linear association test for trend ( ‡) Although it is well known that the high incidence of swallowing disorders after ischemic stroke contributes to impaired quality of life and poor functional outcome, only few studies report the incidence of dysphagia following SAH [9, 10] . ./cache/cord-011975-8vl45xb7.txt ./txt/cord-011975-8vl45xb7.txt
