Database DYMUS-PD_Dagna_avenali

<p>In this paper, we reported DYMUS&nbsp;(Dysphagia in Multiple Sclerosis) and the EAT-10( Eating Assessment Tool) questionnaires score from patients and caregivers. DYMUS is composed by 10 items, all the answers are dichotomous, coded as 1 or 0, depending on the presence or absence of the event (range of score: 0&ndash;10; higher&thinsp;=&thinsp;worse). EAT-10 is a clinical scale used to document dysphagia symptoms severity in patients with swallowing disorders. EAT-10 includes 10 questions, each scored from 0 to 4 (&ldquo;no problem&rdquo; to &ldquo;severe problem&rdquo;); the total score is calculated by adding the scores of each question, with a higher score indicating higher self-perceived dysphagia severity. For the comparison of DYMUS with fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation (FEES), patients underwent the instrumental evaluation. Based on FEES findings, dysphagia severity was rated according to the Dysphagia Outcome Severity Scale (DOSS).&nbsp; This database includes the raw data of Hoehn &amp; Yahr staging system, MDS-Unified Parkinson&rsquo;s Disease Rating Scale part 3, disease duration and MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) of each patient.</p>
