Background and Purpose— Lower respiratory tract infections frequently complicate stroke
and adversely affect outcome. There is currently no agreed terminology or gold-standard …

Background and Purpose— Diagnosis of pneumonia complicating stroke is challenging,
and there are currently no consensus diagnostic criteria. As a first step in developing such …

Purpose Several risk stratification scores for predicting stroke-associated pneumonia have
been derived. We aimed to evaluate the performance and clinical usefulness of such scores …

Background and Purpose— Identifying the causal pathogens of pneumonia complicating
stroke is challenging, and antibiotics used are often broad spectrum, without recourse to the …

Background Newly detected atrial fibrillation (NDAF) following an ischemic stroke or
transient ischemic attack is often paroxysmal in nature. While challenging to detect, extended …
