Stroke-Associated Pneumonia in Thrombolyzed Patients: Incidence and Outcome
Stroke-associated pneumonia often negatively influences the prognosis of stroke patients. The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of pneumonia and to investigate the correlation between pneumonia and prognosis in stroke patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV thrombolysis).

Relationship Between Dysphagia, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score, and Predictors of Pneumonia After Ischemic Stroke
The present study aimed to evaluate the relation between the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and the presence of laryngeal penetration and/or laryngotracheal aspiration in ischemic stroke patients and to verify what factors are predictors of the occurrence of pneumonia in the evaluated patients.

Conscious sedation versus general anaesthesia during mechanical thrombectomy for stroke: a propensity score analysis
Conclusions
In our cohort, thrombectomy patients receiving conscious sedation have decreased in-hospital mortality, decreased rates of pneumonia, and lower hospital costs and lengths of stay when compared with patients who received general anaesthesia. However, most practitioners continue to use general anaesthesia in the setting of acute stroke interventions.

Proton Pump Inhibitors versus Histamine-2 Receptor Antagonists and Risk of Pneumonia in Patients with Acute Stroke
Pneumonia is a serious complication of stroke. Several studies have indicated that certain gastric acid suppressants may be associated with an increased risk of pneumonia in hospitalized patients. However, the association between type of acid suppressant and pneumonia in acute stroke patients remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between the type of acid suppressant and the occurrence of pneumonia in acute stroke patients.

Prediction of Ischemic Stroke-Associated Pneumonia: A Comparison between 3 Scores
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Among all poststroke complications, pneumonia constitutes a major complication with a strong impact on morbidity and mortality. To identify patients at high risk of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) and to tailor a prophylactic approach, a reliable scoring model for prediction may be useful in daily stroke care.

Hypoxia after stroke: a review of experimental and clinical evidence
ConclusionWhilst evidence for the use of supplemental oxygen therapy is currently lacking, it is vital to rapidly identify and treat all causes of hypoxia in the acute stroke patient, as a failure to will lead to poorer clinical outcomes. The full results of a large randomised trial looking at the use of supplemental oxygen therapy are currently pending.

Infections Diagnosed after Admission to a Stroke Unit and Their Impact on Hospital Mortality in Poland from 1995 to 2015
Implementation of modern stroke unit care might have attenuated the negative effect of infections on stroke outcome. Our aim was to investigate changes in the occurrence of pneumonia and urinary infections diagnosed after admission to experienced Polish stroke center between 1995 and 2015, and their association with hospital mortality.

A Comparative Study of Two Tube Feeding Methods in Patients with Dysphagia After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Dysphagia is a common symptom seen in stroke patients, it not only affects patients' nutrition supply, but also causes aspiration pneumonia. To solve the problem of nutritional support for patients with dysphagia after stroke, nasogastric tubes are routinely indwelling to provide nutrition in China. However, this feeding method sometimes causes food reflux, aspiration, pneumonia, and often affects the patients ’ comfort and self-image acceptance. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether a new feeding method called intermittent oroesophageal (IOE) tube feeding compared with continuous nasogastric tu...

Predictors of In-hospital Mortality and the Risk of Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage after Thrombolytic Therapy with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke
This study aimed to determine the independent predictors of in-hospital mortality (IHM) and the risk of sICH after rt-PA therapy. A total of 1007 patients (mean age, 72 ± 12 years; 52% women; mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score, 11.6 ± 5.6) with AIS treated with rt-PA were enrolled in this study during a 42-month period beginning in November 2007. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to estimate the predictors of IHM. Eighty-three of the 1007 patients (8.2%) died during hospitalization (mean duration of hospitalization, 10 ± 1.8 days). Logistic regression estimated the...

Speech–Language Pathologist-led Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing: Functional Outcomes for Patients after Stroke
This study investigated the clinical utility of a speech–language pathologist-led FEES service on functional outcomes for patients after acute stroke.Methods: A retrospective file audit was carried out on 220 patients before FEES was introduced and on 220 patients after the implementation of a speech–language pathologist-led FEES service. The primary outcome measure was incidence of pneumonia, and secondary outcome measures included mortality, diet on discharge, discharge destination, duration nil-by-mouth, incidence of nonoral feeding, and length of stay.Results: There was a significant increase in instrumental assess...
