Post-stroke infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Willeke F. Westendorp,Paul J. Nederkoorn,Jan-Dirk Vermeij,Marcel G. W. Dijkgraaf,Diederik van de Beek +4 more
TL;DR: The need to prevent infections in patients with stroke is stressed, and pneumonia was associated with death, in a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on post-stroke infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic therapy for preventing infections in patients with acute stroke.
Willeke F. Westendorp,Jan-Dirk Vermeij,Frederique H Vermeij,Heleen M. den Hertog,Diederik W.J. Dippel,Diederik van de Beek,Paul J. Nederkoorn +6 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the effectiveness and safety of preventive antibiotic therapy in people with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke found that antibiotics did reduce the risk of infection but did not reduce the number of dependent or deceased patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic Therapy for Preventing Infections in People With Acute Stroke
Jan-Dirk Vermeij,Willeke F. Westendorp,Diederik W.J. Dippel,Diederik van de Beek,Paul J. Nederkoorn +4 more
TL;DR: This meta-analysis assessed whether preventive antibiotics in ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke can be improved by preventive antibiotic therapy and how to reduce the risk of a poor functional outcome and the overall infection rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-Stroke Use of Beta-Blockers Does Not Lower Post-Stroke Infection Rate: An Exploratory Analysis of the Preventive Antibiotics in Stroke Study.
Willeke F. Westendorp,Jan-Dirk Vermeij,Matthijs C. Brouwer,Yvo B.W.E.M. Roos,Paul J. Nederkoorn,Diederik van de Beek +5 more
TL;DR: Patients treated with BBs prior to stroke have a higher rate of infection and pneumonia, and the use of BBs at baseline was associated with the development of infection during clinical course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-stroke infections and preventive antibiotics in stroke: Update of clinical evidence.
TL;DR: It has now become clear that, despite the finding that overall infections are reduced, preventive antibiotic therapy in the acute phase of stroke does neither improve functional outcome, nor decrease mortality rates.
