Background And Purpose: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is associated with poor functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The objective of this study was to identify predictors of SAP in patients underwent intra-arterial treatment (IAT).
Methods: Consecutive patients with AIS within 6 h from the symptom onset underwent IAT were enrolled. Independent predictors of in-hospital SAP after AIS were obtained using multivariable logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were calculated and compared by the log-rank test.
Results: Of 165 patients with AIS in the study period, 102 (61.8%) underwent IAT. Twenty-two (21.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 14.7-29.4) experienced SAP. Patients with SAP were older (69.2 vs 62.9 years, respectively; P = 0.011), more severely affected (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 18 vs 9, respectively; P = 0.004), more likely to underwent symptom of dysphagia (86.4% vs 15%, respectively; P < 0.001), lower Glasgow Coma Scale score (9 vs 13, respectively; P < 0.001), and longer operation time (149.5 vs 123, respectively; P < 0.001) than those without SAP. Only symptom of dysphagia (adjust odds ratio [OR], 12.051; 95% CI, 3.457-50.610; P < 0.001) and total time of operation (adjust OR, 1.040; 95% CI, 1.009-1.071; P < 0.001) were identified as independent predictors of SAP. Patients with SAP had stable or improved deficits after AIS with IAT (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Besides dysphagia, total time of operation is a risk factor of SAP in patients with AIS with IAT.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors predicting poor outcomes after lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and to create models for predicting unfavorable functional results or death within three months.
- The research involved 322 patients from Beijing, using statistical methods like LASSO analysis to select variables and multivariable logistic regression to analyze outcomes.
- Key predictive factors included age, the volume of ICH, and certain health conditions, while the developed models showed excellent accuracy in predicting outcomes, aiding in clinical decision-making.

Background: Stroke-induced transient immune suppression is believed to contribute to post-stroke infections. The β-adrenergic receptor antagonist, propranolol, has been shown to prevent stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) via reversing post-stroke immunosuppression in preclinical studies and in retrospective analysis in stroke patients. However, whether propranolol can reduce the risk of SAP has not been tested in prospective, randomised controlled trials.

Background And Objectives: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is the aftermath of aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions or stomach content. Mechanical ventilation and lowered immunity and consciousness facilitate the etiopathogenesis of SAP. Antibiotic prophylaxis and repeated culture and sensitivity testing dampen the drug susceptibility patterns of the pathogens.

Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a common complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and is associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospital stays. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is a novel inflammatory marker that has been shown to be associated with various diseases. However, the relationship between the LMR and SAP in patients with AIS remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Stroke-associated Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) is a serious concern for stroke patients, and this study investigates using machine learning to predict its occurrence based on national registry data.
- The research involved analyzing data from nearly 10,000 stroke patients and comparing the performance of various machine learning models, with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) achieving the best results.
- Key predictors for HAP were identified through SHAP analysis, indicating that factors like stroke severity and arrival method significantly affect the risk of developing HAP, highlighting the potential for improved patient care through predictive modeling.
