Predictive value of the Oxford Acute Severity of Illness Score in acute stroke patients with stroke-associated pneumonia
ConclusionOASIS can effectively predict the onset and death of SAP patients and provides a potential reference index for early diagnosis and the prediction of prognosis in patients with SAP. Our findings should be considered in clinical practice.

Increased neuropil antibody prevalence in COVID-19 patients with acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSION: Our results confirm the presence of neuropil antibodies in patients with COVID-19 infection and identify a putative antibody-driven association between AIS and COVID-19. The antigenic targets and potential pathogenic action of these antibodies need to be further explored.PMID:37634189 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2252282

Post-stroke pneumonia: Factors associated with readmission within 90 days of stroke discharge
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability within the United States.1,2 On average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds and accounts for approximately 1 in every 19 deaths.2 The prevalence of stroke is projected to increase by 20.5% from 2012 to 2030.2 Post-stroke complications are prevalent; infection occurs among 30% of acute cases.3 Pneumonia is one of the most common post-stroke infections and is associated with increased morbidity.4,5 Moreover, pneumonia is recognized as an independent risk factor for stroke-related mortality.

Dysphagia in Neurological Disorders
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1771458Dysphagia is a common symptom in many neurologic disorders. Patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia present with difficulties when they start to swallow, often with coughing and choking; whereas patients with esophageal dysphagia describe the feeling that swallowed food stops in the chest. Chronic neurologic diseases such stroke, Parkinson's disease, or dementia often have dysphagia as a symptom, particularly oropharyngeal dysphagia, and the term “neurogenic dysphagia” is often used. A disruption of the sophisticated, integrated sensorimotor swallowing system is usually the main re...

The Functional Prognosis of Rescue Conscious Sedation During Mechanical Thrombectomy on Patients with Acute Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke: A Single-Center Retrospective Study
ConclusionCompared to LA, rescue CS during MT does not significantly improve the 90 days of good prognosis and reduce the incidence of sICH and mortality in patients with anterior circulation AIS. However, it has a significantly increased risk of poststroke pneumonia (PSP), particularly in patients with dysphagia.

Association of underlying untreated cardiovascular risk factors with mortality and functional outcome in ischaemic stroke patients
Stroke is the third leading cause of death after ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and pneumonia in Malaysia.1 Aziz et al. reported that Malaysia's prevalence of ischaemic stroke had increased from 42.8 to 118.7 in 100,000 from 2010 to 2014. The report showed that 8-11% of ischaemic stroke patients died within 30 days while 56-61% survived with significant disability in Malaysia.2 Our previous study showed that patients with ischaemic stroke in Malaysia were younger, but the mortality rate was higher than in other countries.

Combined Role of Inflammatory Biomarkers and Red Blood Cell Distribution Width in Predicting In-hospital Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients undergoing Thrombolysis
CONCLUSIONS: Combined RDW and inflammatory biomarkers within 4.5 hours had a better predictive power for in-hospital outcomes of AIS patients with thrombolysis.PMID:37282646 | DOI:10.2174/1567202620666230606120439

A brain CT-based approach for predicting and analyzing stroke-associated pneumonia from intracerebral hemorrhage
DiscussionOur findings suggest that our method is effective in classifying the development of pneumonia based on brain CT scans. Furthermore, we identified distinct characteristics, such as volume and distribution, of ICH in four different types of SAP.

Effects of nurse-led hierarchical management care on acute stroke patients: A pilot study to promote stroke-associated pneumonia management
ConclusionNurse-led hierarchical management care based on AIS-APS can reduce the incidence of SAP, promote AIS patients' neurological function, and maintain patients' ADL. The results of our study indicated that nurse-led hierarchical management care is feasible for AIS patients and provides individualized interventions for patients with different levels of SAP risk. Nurse-led hierarchical management care could be incorporated into routine nursing practice. Further study is needed and expected to solve more clinical problems.
