This session will inform listeners of important findings from a tertiary care hospital at the center of the COVID-19 response in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and will provide an important opportunity to compare and contrast findings with global patterns and local experiences. This investigation summarizes the clinical conditions, management, and functional outcomes of adults admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 and dysphagia, and offers insights into risk factors and clinical predictions of favorable swallowing outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

Compare and contrast three characteristics of the participations in this study with their local experience
Recall the severity of dysphagia found in this study, and the rates of successful rehabilitation
List factors associated with favorable swallowing outcomes in this population
