• The three-class solution was chosen because it provided the best balance of model fit, entropy above 0.9, interpretability, and expert judgement. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• Nearly half of patients followed a consistently low-risk pattern, about one-quarter recovered rapidly within 24 hours, and nearly one-third had persistently high-risk scores. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• The heterogeneity of swallowing recovery trajectories suggests post-extubation management should not rely on a single fixed assumption about recovery timing. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• LCGM allowed recovery patterns to be separated into clinically interpretable subgroups rather than treating all patients as having the same average trend. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• Models with one to four latent classes were tested, with selection criteria including AIC, BIC, adjusted BIC, log-likelihood, entropy, interpretability, and expert opinion. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• Latent class growth modelling identified three distinct swallowing function trajectories in adult ICU patients after extubation. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
