  1. Using linear stepwise regression calculation, the following are the predictor model results: dependent variable: wish for further CRS; influencing variables: (constant) facial or cervical scarring, fluid/saliva dripping from mouth, hypesthetic lower lip or chin, only fluid diet, gastrostogavage, dropped mouth corner and feeding via nasogastric tube
  2. aControl groups: patients got the counter question (no impairment) after questioning for the corresponding impairment
  3. bRank of strength of impairments
