SDL Index Predicts Stroke-Associated Pneumonia in Patients After Endovascular Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a novel index to predict SAP for AIS patients who underwent endovascular treatment. Methods: A study was conducted in an advanced comprehensive stroke center from January 2013 to December 2019 aiming to develop and validate a novel index to predict SAP for AIS patients who underwent endovascular treatment. This cohort consisted of a total of 407 consecutively registered AIS patients who underwent endovascular therapy, which was divided into derivation and validation cohorts. Multiple blood parameters as well as demographic features, vascular risk factors, and clinical features were carefully evaluated in the derivation cohort. The independent predictors were obtained using multivariable logistic regression. The scoring syste
