Abstract

Introduction: Pneumonia is a frequent and severe complication in patients with acute stroke, contributing to increased mortality, prolonged hospital stay, and elevated treatment costs. Early detection and management of risk factors are essential to improve patient prognosis. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of pneumonia and analyze associated factors in patients with acute stroke treated at Ca Mau General Hospital in 2024. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 1,718 patients with acute stroke. Epidemiological, clinical, and interventional data were collected and analyzed using Stata software version 18.0. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify associated factors. Results: The prevalence of post-stroke pneumonia was 15.37%. Statistically significant associated factors included male sex (aOR = 1.67), advanced age (aOR = 1.29), high NIHSS score (aOR = 1.67), decreased consciousness (aOR = 4.16); dysphagia (aOR = 2.75), cerebral hemorrhage (aOR = 3.72); mechanical ventilation (aOR = 5.72), multiple comorbidities (aOR = 1,23), nasogastric tube placement (aOR = 2.19), and multiple comorbidities (aOR = 1.23), all with p < 0.05. Conclusion: Post-stroke pneumonia remains a common complication. Screening and control of risk factors such as male gender, patients with decreased consciousness, and those with multiple comorbidities, dysphagia, mechanical ventilation, and nasogastric tube placement are recommended to reduce this complication.
