Factors associated with the development of dysphagia in multivariable analysis

Factor	OR	95% CI	p value
Poor clinical grade	2.02	1.03–3.96	0.040
Parenchymal hematoma on admission CT	2.55	1.17–5.53	0.018
Hydrocephalus requiring EVD placement	2.60	1.33–5.10	0.005
Aneurysm detected	3.48	1.22–9.92	0.019
Prolonged intubation	19.2	6.18–59.8	<0.001

Poor clinical grade was defined as Hunt & Hess grades 4 and 5. Prolonged intubation was defined as intubation for more than 48 h. Statistical analysis was performed using a stepwise backward elimination binary logistic regression model
