In-Hospital Stroke Recurrence and Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack: Frequency and Risk Factors Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In-hospital stroke recurrence was low with optimal current management. Patients with a history of TIA, severe symptomatic carotid stenosis, or uncommon causes of stroke were at higher risk. Pneumonia was associated with a higher risk of stroke recurrence in patients with initial TIA or minor stroke but not in the overall population studied. Aphasia may bias the detection rate by concealing new neurological symptoms.

Can a Novel Clinical Risk Score Improve Pneumonia Prediction in Acute Stroke Care? A UK Multicenter Cohort Study Stroke
Conclusions The ISAN score is a simple tool for predicting SAP in clinical practice. External validation is required in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke cohorts.

Microbiological Etiologies of Pneumonia Complicating Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Although the analysis was limited by small and heterogeneous study populations, limiting determination of microbiological causality, this review suggests aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci are frequently associated with pneumonia complicating stroke. This supports the need for appropriately designed studies to determine microbial cause and a consensus-based approach in antibiotic usage and further targeted antibiotic treatment trials for enhanced antibiotic stewardship.

The economic cost of stroke-associated pneumonia in a UK setting.
Conclusions SAP increased acute care costs for stroke by approximately 80%. This provides further impetus for research aimed at reducing SAP, and will inform cost-effectiveness analyses of potential therapeutic strategies. PMID: 29105583 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prospective Quality Initiative to Maximize Dysphagia Screening Reduces Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia Prevalence in Patients With Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A quality improvement initiative using a nurse-administered bedside screen with rapid bedside swallow evaluation by a speech pathologist improves screening compliance and correlates with decreased prevalence of pneumonia among patients with stroke.

How Is Pneumonia Diagnosed in Clinical Stroke Research?: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— We found considerable variation in terminology and the diagnostic approach to pneumonia. Our review supports the need for consensus development of operational diagnostic criteria for pneumonia complicating stroke.

Early Dysphagia Screening by Trained Nurses Reduces Pneumonia Rate in Stroke Patients Brief Report
Conclusions—24/7 dysphagia screening can be effectively performed by nurses and leads to reduced pneumonia rates. Therefore, empowering nurses to do a formal bedside screening for swallowing dysfunction in stroke patients timely after admission is warranted whenever speech–language therapists are not available.

Risk factors for the development of chest infections in acute stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Evidence has been comprehensively synthesized to provide reliable estimates of the association between important risk factors and chest infection. Monitoring patients meeting these criteria may promote early identification and treatment to improve long-term outcomes. PMID: 30028658 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Safety and Effect of Metoclopramide to Prevent Pneumonia in Patients With Stroke Fed via Nasogastric Tubes Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— This study suggests that metoclopramide may reduce the rate of pneumonia and may improve other clinical outcomes in patients with subacute stroke fed via nasogastric tube. These findings need to be confirmed in larger randomized and blinded trials. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu.

Predictors for total medical costs for acute hemorrhagic stroke patients transferred to the rehabilitation ward at a regional hospital in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings could help clinicians to understand that cost reduction may be achieved by minimizing complications (pneumonia and UTI) in these patients. PMID: 26094779 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
