Abstract
Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is common and associated with adverse outcomes. Data on its impact beyond 1 year are scarce. This observational study was conducted in a cohort of stroke patients admitted consecutively to a tertiary referral center in the east of England, UK (January 2003-April 2015). Logistic regression models examined inpatient mortality and length of stay (LOS). Cox regression models examined longer-term mortality at predefined time periods (0-90 days, 90 days-1 year, 1-3 years, and 3-10 years) for SAP. Effect of SAP on functional outcome at discharge was assessed using logistic regression. A total of 9238 patients (mean age [±SD] 77.61 ± 11.88 years) were included. SAP was diagnosed in 1083 (11.7%) patients. The majority of these cases (n = 658; 60.8%) were aspiration pneumonia. After controlling for age, sex, stroke type, Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) classification, prestroke modified Rankin scale, comorbidities, and acute illness markers, mortality estimates remained significant at 3 time periods: inpatient (OR 5.87, 95%CI [4.97-6.93]), 0-90 days (2.17 [1.97-2.40]), and 91-365 days (HR 1.31 [1.03-1.67]). SAP was also associated with higher odds of long LOS (OR 1.93 [1.67-2.22]) and worse f...Continue Reading
