Predictive Value of Cough Frequency in Addition to Aspiration Risk for Increased Risk of Pneumonia in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors: A Clinical Pilot Study

Background: Post-stroke dysphagia leads to increased risk of aspiration and subsequent higher risk of pneumonia. It is important to not only diagnose post-stroke dysphagia early but also to evaluate the protective mechanism that counteracts aspiration, i.e., primarily cough. The aim of this study wa...
