Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms May Increase the Risk of Aspiration Pneumonia in Post-Stroke Patients with Dysphagia

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms May Increase the Risk of Aspiration Pneumonia in Post-Stroke Patients with Dysphagia

This study aimed to evaluate whether genetic polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of infection, specifically post-stroke aspiration pneumonia. Blood samples were obtained from a total of 206 post-stroke participants (males, <i>n</i> = 136; mean age, 63.8 years). Genotyping w...
