Chest Computed Tomography Findings and Validation of Clinical Criteria of Stroke Associated Pneumonia. J Stroke. 2019 May;21(2):217-219.2287-6391http://hdl.handle.net/10668/13843Multiple terms have been used to describe chest infection in stroke patients . Pneumonia in Stroke Consensus (PISCES) Group has set stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) diagnostic criteria consensus [1] as a starting point in the identification of this pathology . However, SAP assessment still involves a particular challenge [2], especially if chest radiography is taken into account, due to significant interobserver variability in interpretation and its limited use in the early stages [3]. In fact, the wide SAP incidence range in stroke units (3.9% to 44% [4]) reflects the insufficient evidence about diagnostic accuracy of clinical symptoms or laboratory tests for SAP [2]. Thorax high resolution computed tomography (THRCT) is a useful adjunct to conventional radiography and an accurate study to identify underlying findings in stroke patients , which could serve as a guide in risk score or diagnostic criteria validation.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/HumansIncidenceObserver VariationRespiratory Tract InfectionsStrokeTomographyConsensusEvidence GapsPneumoniaRadiographyRisk Factorsletter to the editor30991796open accessAccidente cerebrovascularTóraxPacientesNeumoníaConsensoRadiografíaInfeccionesTomografía10.5853/jos.2018.03251PMC6549062https://www.j-stroke.org/upload/pdf/jos-2018-03251.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6549062/pdf
