Patient's care bundle benefits to prevent stroke associated pneumonia: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient's care bundle has been found to have a beneficial effect on refractory diseases, but the preventive effect of this strategy on stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) remains unclear. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the role of the patient's care bundle in the prevention of SAP.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in five electronic databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before January 31, 2022. The incidence of SAP and aspiration and the length of hospital stay were assessed. Random pair-wise meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4, and trial sequential analysis (TSA) was also performed.

Results

Twenty eligible RCTs involving 1916 patients were included for data analysis. Pooled results s
