Thus, we conducted this study to determine the prevalence of dysphagia and associated factors of dysphagia in patients with acute ischemic stroke in Vietnam.
Materials And Methods: From June 2020 to January 2022, a cross-sectional study of patients with acute ischemic stroke was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Vietnam.
(1) Background: The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of in-hospital mortality and to investigate its predictors in patients with a primary intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) undergoing endotracheal intubation. (2) Methods: This retrospective study, between July 2018 to July 2019, recruited patients who were diagnosed with a primary ICH and who were intubated during treatment in our institution. The outcome variable was in-hospital mortality, known as 30-day mortality, in patients with ICH undergoing endotracheal intubation.
