Summary

This study looked at whether a simple oral hygiene routine could prevent a serious lung infection called aspiration pneumonia in people hospitalized after a stroke. Researchers compared 90 stroke patients who received structured mouth care from nurses to similar patients who got usual care. The goal was to see if the special mouth care lowered the number of pneumonia cases. This low-cost approach could help prevent infections, especially in hospitals with limited resources.
