Effect of alteplase, benzodiazepines and beta-blocker on post-stroke pneumonia: Exploration of VISTA-Acute
by Thanh G. Phan, Richard Beare, Philip M. Bath, Svitlana Ievlieva, Stella Ho, John Ly, Amanda G. Thrift, Velandai K. Srikanth, Henry Ma, on behalf of the VISTA-Acute Collaborators BackgroundPost-stroke pneumonia is a frequent complication of stroke and is associated with high mortality. Investigators have described its associations with beta-blocker. However, there has been no evaluation of the role of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (RTPA). We postulate that RTPA may modify the effect of stroke on pneumonia by reducing stroke disability. We explore this using data from neuroprotection trials in Virtual Internati...

Videofluoroscopy dysphagia severity scale is predictive of subsequent remote pneumonia in dysphagia patients
Conclusions: Dysphagia severity evaluated by VE-DSS, VE-FOIS, VF-FOIS, Ohkuma Questionnaire, and EAT-10 is not associated with subsequent pneumonia. Only VF-DSS is associated with both short-term and long-term subsequent pneumonia. In patients with dysphagia, VF-DSS is predictive of subsequent pneumonia.PMID:36860676 | PMC:PMC9969506 | DOI:10.7150/ijms.76448
