Official Title: Ultra-early Chest CT Improves Risk Prediction of Stroke-associated Pneumonia: Model Development and External Validation in a Multicentre Retrospective Study
Brief Summary:
Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a common and serious complication after acute ischaemic stroke (AIS).Existing scores rely mainly on clinical variables, and the added prognostic value of inflammatory markers and early chest CT findings remains uncertain.We developed and externally validated an early multimodal model combining clinical severity, inflammation, and chest CT abnormalities, and explored risk-stratified associations between prophylactic antibiotics and SAP.
