Low thoracic skeletal mass index, a novel marker to predict recurrence of aspiration pneumonia in the elderly stroke patients.

Low thoracic skeletal mass index, a novel marker to predict recurrence of aspiration pneumonia in the elderly stroke patients.

<h4>Purpose</h4>We investigated whether thoracic skeletal muscle mass index at the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia (AP) is a predictor for AP recurrence and explored predicting factors for AP recurrence in patients with stroke.<h4>Patients and methods</h4>This study retrosp...
