Intra- and inter-rater reliability for videofluoroscopic and ultrasound measures
Measure | Bolus | Intra-rater ICC (95% CI) VFSS | Inter-rater ICC (95% CI) VFSS | Intra-rater ICC (95% CI) ultrasound | Inter-rater ICC (95% CI) ultrasound |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hyoid excursion | Dry, liquid, puree | 0.94 (0.78, 0.98) | 0.74 (0.29, 0.91) | 0.25 (0.00, 0.78) | 0.53 (0.01, 0.83) |
Thyrohyoid approximation | Dry, liquid, puree | 0.91 (0.52, 0.99) | [0.34] (0.00, 0.76) | 0.58 (0.10, 0.88) | 0.68 (0.25, 0.89) |
