Deans' stroke musings: Association between blood triglycerides and stroke-associated pneumonia: a prospective cohort study

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Association between blood triglycerides and stroke-associated pneumonia: a prospective cohort study

Your competent? doctor has known of the pneumonia risk for years and a vaccine to possibly prevent that. But did your doctor DO ANYTHING?

Background Cerebral infarction requires the reduction of blood lipids, but low triglycerides are associated with poor prognosis. stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) can also lead to poor prognosis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between triglycerides (TG) and SAP. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and enrolled consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted between March 2019 and March 2021. Univariate analysis, Multivariable logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, curve fitting, inflection point analysis, stratified and interaction analyses was performed to examine the relationship between blood TG and SAP. Results The study included 240 patients with acute ischemic stroke (92 females, mean age 68 years), of whom 94 developed SAP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that TG levels were independently associated with SAP. The fitting curve shows a linear relationship between TG level and SAP incidence, with a decrease in SAP incidence as TG increases. The inflection point value is TG = 2.6mmol/L. Conclusions The findings suggest that TG levels may be inversely associated with the risk of SAP in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke.
