Interventional strategies suggested by the ESAT. Interventional strategies were recommended in addition to already performed medical care, supportive care, and rehabilitation. The patterns of suggestions varied widely; only three patterns were plural (pattern number 42, 72, 78) and all others were singular. This means that the interventions based on this study were well individualized. The pattern number does not equate to the participants’ ID or sequence of enrollment in this study. a The description “medication for swallowing disorder” means both starting a medicine and stopping a medicine.
