Brief Summary:
Pneumonia is a frequent complication of acute stroke and is associated with increased mortality and long-term impairment in the affected subjects In previous studies a number of clinical eg dysphagia severe neurological impairment mechanical ventilation radiological eg large infarctions in the territory of middle cerebral artery insular infarction and biochemical eg increased serum levels of C-reactive protein decreased levels of CD4 T-lymphocytes findings have been reported as risk factors of stroke-related chest infection The present study PRECAST aims to identify a small set out of these previously described risk factors that can predict stroke-related pneumonia with high sensitivity and specificity
