                         Background/aim: 
The  Mann  Assessment  of  Swallowing  Ability  (MASA)  is  an  efficient  tool  that  allows  physicians  to  
determine
  the  
alertness, cooperation, and respiration of patients, which are 
important
 factors when assessing 
swallowing
. This study aimed to translate 
the MASA into Turkish (T-MASA) and to assess its reliability and validity in patients during the 
early period
 after a 
stroke
.
Materials  and  methods:  
The  scale  was  administered  to  141  patients  in  the  early  period  after  a  stroke.  For  reliability,  both  internal  
consistency (Cronbach's alpha and corrected item-to-total correlations) and interrater reliability were analyzed. The procedures were 
scored by two blinded independent expert observers. The validity was assessed using the convergent validity. The cut-off value of the 
T-MASA for dysphagia was accepted as 169 points. The correlation between the MASA and endoscopic evaluation was evaluated.
Results: 
The T-MASA showed good internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha (0.899-0.901) and corrected item-to-total correlations. 
In addition, the intraclass correlation coefficient scores indicated excellent agreement. A significant moderate negative correlation was 
found between endoscopic evaluation and the T-MASA in terms of the presence of dysphagia (r: -0.324, r: -0.302, respectively, and 
both P = 0.001)
Conclusion: 
Our results suggest that the Turkish version of the MASA is a valid and reliable instrument when determining dysphagia 
in patients in the early period after a stroke.
