<qa>  What is the incidence of dysphagia in ICU patients?ICU patients are at increased risk for oropharyngeal dysphagia following endotracheal intubation. However, the incidence, respective underlying causes and clinical consequences of dysphagia in ICU patients are currently understudied. The impact on clinical outcomes of respective ICU patients thus remains currently unclear. A systematic review 1 reported highly variable dysphagia frequency rates depending on the time of mechanical ventilation intubation.
