INTERNATIONAL DYSPHAGIA DIET STANDARDISATION INITIATIVE (IDDSI) - SLOVAK TRANSLATION AND ADAPTATION OF THE IDDSI FRAMEWORK

Abstract

Introduction: The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) framework is the first and currently the only professionally recognised standardised system for people with swallowing disorders. It is aimed at evaluating and describing foods with different levels of texture modification and differently thickened beverages, as well as testing them. The system is relatively unknown in Slovakia.
