Comparison of clinical scores for predicting stroke-associated pneumonia after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH): potential tools for personalized care and clinical trials for ICH.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to systematically compare the discrimination and calibration of 5 clinical scores for stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods

We derived a validation cohort from the Beijing Registration of Intracerebral Hemorrhage. SAP was then diagnosed according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's criteria for hospital-acquired pneumonia. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were used to assess model discrimination and calibration.

Results

A total of 1964 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 56.8±14.4 years, and 67.6% were male. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was 1
