Food preference assessment for older patients in geriatric wards

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project develops a food-preference tool adapted from the CFTPQ for older inpatients, with the goal of tailoring meal textures and choices for those with or at risk of oral dysphagia. The tool will be administered cross-sectionally on geriatric wards and repeated in a subset to measure test–retest reliability. The work builds on the earlier DYSPHAGING pilot pathway that implemented routine OD screening and preventive measures. Eligible participants must be able to eat orally and complete the questionnaire (or have a legal guardian provide consent).
