Imbalance of Microbacterial Diversity Is Associated with Functional Prognosis of Stroke

CONCLUSIONS: Stroke generates extensive and substantial alterations in the gut microbiota and SCFAs, according to our findings. The differences of intestinal flora and lower fecal SCFA levels are closely related to the physical function, intestinal function, pain, or nutritional status of poststroke patients. Treatment strategies aimed at modulating the gut microbiota and SCFAs may have the potential to enhance the clinical results of patients.PMID:37197229 | PMC:PMC10185427 | DOI:10.1155/2023/6297653
