Since the complete data from 62 participants provided adequate power of over 0.9, per protocol analysis was used with no needs for imputation. All statistical analyses were performed by a researcher who was blinded to randomization. Graphing and statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism v. 7. Power analysis and sample size calculation were performed using G-power v.3.0.10. A significance level of 5% ( p< 0.05) was used for all analyses. Normality of data distribution was assessed by D’Agostino and Pearson normality test. Participant characteristics with numerical scale were compared between groups by using unpaired t test. Comparison of baseline categorical data was analyzed by using Fisher’s exact test and Chi-square test as specified. Repeated measure ANOVA with Greenhouse-Geisser correction followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used to compare changes in numerical outcome measures among 0, 1, and 2 months in the same group. Changes in objective dry mouth scores, subjective swallowing problem scores, and swallowing times after intervention were compared and categorized as same (similar scores to baseline), better (lower scores than baseline), or worse outcomes (higher scores than baseline). Comparison of outcome measures between OMJ and GC groups at the same time point was analyzed by using unpaired t test and chi-square test for numerical and categorical data, respectively. Correlation between subjective dry mouth score and subjective swallowing difficulty score were analyzed by using Pearson correlation analysis.

Braam PM, Roesink JM, Moerland MA, Raaijmakers CP, Schipper M, Terhaard CH (2005) Long-term parotid gland function after radiotherapy. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 62(3):659–664 Figure 2f illustrated significantly positive correlation between subjective dry mouth scores and subjective swallowing problem score ( r = 0.5321, p< 0.0001). The data suggested that symptoms of dry mouth were associated with swallowing difficulty. And reduction in dry mouth scores could be linked with a decrease in swallowing problem. Effect of saliva substitutes on subjective and objective swallowing ability The main objective of this work was to compare percent baseline of subjective dry mouth scores after 2 months of interventions between two groups. Thus, the sample size was calculated using non-centrality parameter of unpaired t test. Mean and SD from pilot data of 30 post-radiotherapy cancer patients ( n = 15 each group) were used to obtain the effect size of 0.8. Level of significance was set as 0.05, power of 0.8. The calculated total sample size was 60 (at least 30 each group). To account for possible 15% drop-out, at least 70 participants needed to be recruited (35 each group). Intervention and materials Shiboski CH, Hodgson TA, Ship JA, Schidt M (2007) Management of salivary gland hypofunction during and after radiotherapy. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 103:S66.e1–S66.e19 Water swallowing test (WST) was used to evaluate swallowing ability [ 16]. Each participant was asked to swallow 30 ml of room temperature water and the swallowing time was recorded. Normal swallowing time for adult age below 60 is between 0 and 5 s, while that of elderly age above 60 is between 0 and 7 s. Swallowing time longer than the normal range suggests abnormal swallowing [ 16]. Clinical nutritional statusThis study had been approved by the Ethics Committee of Chonburi Cancer Hospital (COA. No. 7/2016), the Mahidol University Central Institutional Review Board (COA. No. 2017/163.0809), and the Ethics committee of Faculty of Dentistry, Srinakharinwirot University (COA. No. DENTSWU-EC26/2560). Study design, blinding, random allocation, and concealment Subjective and objective swallowing ability were improved in both OMJ and GC groups after at least 1 month of intervention. Nevertheless, OMJ showed better results in improving subjective swallowing ability. The significant correlation between subjective dry mouth and subjective swallowing problem scores suggested that the improvement in swallowing function likely resulted from alleviation of dry mouth by saliva substitutes. Therefore, the superior effect of OMJ in improving subjective dry mouth may explain its better outcome in reducing subjective swallow problems. Since the participants were instructed to swallow OMJ like natural saliva, its bathing effect on oral and throat mucosal walls may lubricate bolus of food, thereby facilitate swallowing [ 24]. This study used EAT-10 and water swallowing test which are screening assays to determine swallowing ability. Future studies should include more objective tests such as fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) evaluated by professionals such as speech pathologists.
