RESUMO
We report a higher incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in patients admitted with stroke (odds ratio, 5.6; 95% CI, 5.4-5.8). Patients with HAP and stroke had an elevated risk of death (odds ratio, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.3). The incidence and mortality of HAP in stroke patients increased across all age groups.
