Table 3: Hospitalization Risk Compared by Interventions for Laryngeal Penetration.

Hospitalization numbers were found to be decreased after feeding interventions and formula thickening but not for subjects that did not receive intervention for their laryngeal penetration. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error.

A. Hospitalization Risk for Subjects that Received Feeding Intervention (n=75)
	Prior to Thickening	After Thickening	p-value

Pulmonary Admissions	0.33 ± 0.09	0.15 ± 0.07	0.058
Pulmonary Nights	1.20 ± 0.43	0.31 ± 0.17	0.048
