Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to survey the Brazilian participation in original and review articles published in the Dysphagia journal. Methods: original and review articles in volumes 1 to 35, quantifying all those developed in Brazil, the diseases researched, the places where the investigations were conducted, and the number of citations they received, were analyzed. The categorical variables are presented in relative and absolute frequencies. Literature Review: a total of 35 Brazilian manuscripts were published. The most researched disease was Parkinson’s, followed by Chagas disease, stroke, and the physiology of swallowing. The highest number of publications was carried out at the Universidade de São Paulo, campus at Ribeirão Preto, SP, and the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, capital city. Between 2001 and 2010, 14 manuscripts were published (3.7% of the journal), and between 2011 and 2020, 20 were published (2.9% of the journal). By 2019, the manuscripts had received 481 citations - 17 citations per article between 1998 and 2009, and 14, between 2010 and 2019. Conclusion: Brazilian manuscripts are regularly published in the Dysphagia journal and have a scientific impact. However, there has not been a progressive increase in the number of published articles.
Highlights
Research activity generating new knowledge in the different fields of science has been considered an important indicator of a country’s development, regardless of immediate applicability to the population’s benefit[1].Dysphagia – meaning swallowing difficulties – is a topic of great interest in the field of health[2], due to its increasing prevalence, more accurate etiological diagnosis, and currently available treatment options.In a country with a limited budget, the diagnosis and treatment costs require attention

Research activity generating new knowledge in the different fields of science has been considered an important indicator of a country’s development, regardless of immediate applicability to the population’s benefit[1]. Dysphagia – meaning swallowing difficulties – is a topic of great interest in the field of health[2], due to its increasing prevalence, more accurate etiological diagnosis (made possible by the development of videofluoroscopy, functional endoscopy, and high-resolution manometry), and currently available treatment options. In a country with a limited budget, the diagnosis and treatment costs require attention. In Brazil, the interest for greater knowledge of dysphagia is noticeable in the growing number of professionals dedicated to its diagnosis and increasing research on dysphagia developed by Brazilians[7,8]
