This systematic review investigates the qualitative and psychometric properties of pharyngeal residue severity rating scales based on fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing to determine vallecula and pyriform sinus pharyngeal residue severity in adults with dysphagia.

Seven studies were found, with seven corresponding pharyngeal residue severity rating scales based on fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Most "failed to employ adequate qualitative and psychometric methods necessary for a robust pharyngeal residue severity rating scale" (p. 357). The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale was the only instrument which met criteria for reliability, validity, and generalizability.
