Early chest CT scans sharpen pneumonia prediction in stroke patients
NCT ID NCT07321275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 1499 people who had an acute ischemic stroke and got a chest CT within 24 hours. Researchers wanted to see if combining CT findings with clinical signs and inflammation markers could better predict who would develop pneumonia within a week. They built and tested a new prediction model that may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
