Oral condition at admission predicts functional outcomes and hospital-acquired pneumonia development among acute ischemic stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Oral care is crucial for the prevention of cardiovascular events and pneumonia. However, few studies have evaluated the associations between multidimensional assessments of oral status or functional outcomes and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).

Methods

Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were retrospectively analyzed. We evaluated the modified oral assessment grade (mOAG) and investigated its association with a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0‒2 (good stroke outcome) and HAP. The mOAG was developed to evaluate 8 categories (lip, tongue, coated tongue, saliva, mucosa, gingiva, preservation, and gargling) on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. We analyzed the effectiveness of the mOAG score for predicting stroke outcome or HAP using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

Results

In total, 247 patients with AIS were analyzed. The area under the ROC curve of the mOAG for predicting poor outcomes was 0.821 (cutoff value: 7), and that for HAP incidence was 0.783 (cutoff value: 8). mOAG (a one-point increase) was associated with poor stroke outcome (odds ratio [OR] 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17‒1.48, P < 0.001) and HAP (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.07‒1.38, P = 0.003) after adjusting for baseline clinical characteristics, including age and stroke severity.

Conclusions

Lower mOAG scores at admission were independently associated with good outcomes and a decreased incidence of HAP. Comprehensive oral assessments are essential for acute stroke patients in clinical settings.

Project description:BackgroundSocial and hospital environmental factors that may be associated with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) have not been evaluated. Comprehensive risk assessment for the incidence of HAP including sociodemographic, clinical, and hospital environmental factors was conducted using national health insurance claims data.MethodsThis is a population-based retrospective cohort study of adult patients who were hospitalized for more than 3 days from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Inpatient Sample data between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2018 in South Korea. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors associated with the incidence of HAP.ResultsAmong the 512,278 hospitalizations, we identified 25,369 (5.0%) HAP cases. In multivariable analysis, well-known risk factors associated with HAP such as older age (over 70 vs. 20-29; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.66; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.36-3.99), male sex (aOR, 1.35; 95% CI 1.32-1.39), pre-existing lung diseases (asthma [aOR, 1.73; 95% CI 1.66-1.80]; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [aOR, 1.62; 95% CI 1.53-1.71]; chronic lower airway disease [aOR, 1.79; 95% CI 1.73-1.85]), tube feeding (aOR, 3.32; 95% CI 3.16-3.50), suctioning (aOR, 2.34; 95% CI 2.23-2.47), positioning (aOR, 1.63; 95% CI 1.55-1.72), use of mechanical ventilation (aOR, 2.31; 95% CI 2.15-2.47), and intensive care unit admission (aOR, 1.29; 95% CI 1.22-1.36) were associated with the incidence of HAP. In addition, poverty (aOR, 1.08; 95% CI 1.04-1.13), general hospitals (aOR, 1.54; 95% CI 1.39-1.70), higher bed-to-nurse ratio (Grade ≥ 5; aOR, 1.45; 95% CI 1.32-1.59), higher number of beds per hospital room (6 beds; aOR, 3.08; 95% CI 2.77-3.42), and ward with caregiver (aOR, 1.19; 95% CI 1.12-1.26) were related to the incidence of HAP.ConclusionsThe incidence of HAP was associated with various sociodemographic, clinical, and hospital environmental factors. Thus, taking a comprehensive approach to prevent and treat HAP is important.

Project description:Background and objectivesStroke is a common group of cerebrovascular diseases that can lead to brain damage or death. Several studies have shown a close link between oral health and stroke. However, the oral microbiome profiling of ischemic stroke (IS) and its potential clinical implication are unclear. This study aimed to describe the oral microbiota composition of IS, the high risk of IS, and healthy individuals and to profile the relationship between microbiota and IS prognosis.MethodsThis observational study recruited three groups: IS, high-risk IS (HRIS), and healthy control (HC) individuals. Clinical data and saliva were collected from participants. The modified Rankin scale score after 90 days was used to assess the prognosis of stroke. Extracted DNA from saliva and performed 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene amplicon sequencing. Sequence data were analyzed using QIIME2 and R packages to evaluate the association between the oral microbiome and stroke.ResultsA total of 146 subjects were enrolled in this study according to the inclusion criteria. Compared with HC, HRIS and IS demonstrated a progressive increase trend in Chao1, observed species richness, and Shannon and Simpson diversity index. On the basis of permutational multivariate analysis of variance, the data indicate a great variation in the saliva microbiota composition between HC and HRIS (F = 2.40, P < 0.001), HC and IS (F = 5.07, P < 0.001), and HRIS and IS (F = 2.79, P < 0.001). The relative abundance of g_Streptococcus, g_Prevotella, g_Veillonella, g_Fusobacterium, and g_Treponema was higher in HRIS and IS compared with that in HC. Furthermore, we constructed the predictive model by differential genera to effectively distinguish patients with IS with poor 90-day prognoses from those with good (area under the curve = 79.7%; 95% CI, 64.41%-94.97%; p < 0.01).DiscussionIn summary, the oral salivary microbiome of HRIS and IS subjects have a higher diversity, and the differential bacteria have some predictive value for the severity and prognosis of IS. Oral microbiota may be used as potential biomarkers in patients with IS.
