Individualized prediction of stroke-associated pneumonia for patients with acute ischemic stroke by Lulu Zhang, Qi Wang, Qi Wang, Yidan Li, Qi Fang, Xiang Tang

“…T-test, Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to investigate the associations of patient characteristics with pneumonia and its severity, and multivariable logistic regression models were used to construct a prediction scale.ResultsThree variables with the most significant associations, including age, NGT placement, and right cerebral hemisphere lesions combined with gender, were used to construct a stroke-associated pneumonia prediction scale with high accuracy (AUC = 0.93). Youden index of our SAP prediction model was 0.77. The sensitivity and specificity of our SAP prediction model were 0.89 and 0.88, respectively.ConclusionWe identified the best predictive model for SAP in AIS patients. …”
