Association of impaired oral intake after ≥7 days with outcome and complications after stroke
|
Impaired after ≥7 days (n = 25) |
Recovered after ≥7 days (n = 37) |
OR (95% CI) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pneumonia during hospital stay | 3 (12%) | 2 (5%) | 4.9 (0.9–25.8) | 0.06 |
| mRS at discharge | 4 ± 2 | 2 ± 2 | 1.9 (1.2–2.8) | 0.005a |
| Duration of hospital stay (days) | 15 ± 9 | 12 ± 5 | 1.1 (1.0–1.2) | 0.006a |
| Institutionalisation | 24 (96%) | 27 (73%) | 4.2 (1.2–14.8) | 0.03 |
Data is presented as N (%) or median ± IQR. The ORs and P values denote whether poor oral intake after ≥7 days was associated with poor outcome after stroke.
