Overview

Randomized trial evaluates dysphagia's association with 90-day mortality after stroke, indicating significant risk.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the relationship between dysphagia and 90-day mortality following a first-ever stroke, with a focus on pneumonia's influence.
  • Enrolled consecutive acute stroke patients from four hospitals in Sweden.
  • Standardized dysphagia screening was performed to assess swallowing ability.
  • Applied center-stratified Cox proportional hazard models to analyze dysphagia-mortality association.
  • Dysphagia was linked to increased 90-day mortality (adjusted HR 5.59; 95% CI 3.05–10.25; p<0.001).
  • Inclusion of pneumonia retained the strong association with mortality (HR 5.17; 95% CI 2.81–9.52; p<0.001).
  • Patients with both dysphagia and pneumonia had the highest mortality risk (HR 13.8; 95% CI 5.9–32.3; p<0.001).
