Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the most common complications of stroke. Understanding of the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings and the risk factors related to stroke-associated pneumonia may contribute to the early identification of high-risk patients and taking strategies for prevention in early-stage after the onset of stroke, so as to reduce the incidence rate of stroke-associated pneumonia. Early identification of stroke-associated pneumonia and effective treatment can improve the success rate of treatment in patients with stroke. This paper summarizes the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, pathogen characteristics, risk assessment and prediction, and prevention measures of stroke-associated pneumonia in recent years, in order to provide clinical guidance on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of stroke-associated pneumonia.
