Abstract
Oropharyngeal dysphagia, often overlooked on clinical examination, is common after lung transplantation. Normal deglutition may improve survival after lung transplantation, but oropharyngeal dysphagia does not independently affect BOS. Institution of protocols aimed at identifying previously unrecognized dysphagia may improve results of pulmonary transplantation.
