Method: Systematic Review of Literature based on the recommendations of the Joanna Brigs Institute for the PICo strategy, what are the metric properties of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 in people with Stroke that present a swallowing disorder? The research was carried out using the electronic database platforms: EBSCO, Host, Google Scolar, Cochrane Library Collection, Scielo and Proquest, having identified, selected, evaluated the methodological quality and included the articles that take into account the PRISMA recommendations.
Results: Six studies were included that fulfilled the eligibility and methodological quality criteria. Studies on the reproducibility, validity and responsiveness of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 were found. However, this last property
needs to be studied in future investigations. The limitation identified was the applicability of the scale in people with cognitive alterations.
Conclusions: The Eating Assessment Tool-10 is a reliable, valid and responsive tool for people with stroke that present swallowing disorders.
