Outcome measures
pneumonia, weight loss, community-acquired pneumonia
PNEUMONIA, SECONDARY, ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA, HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA, ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA, COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA
Development of subsequent pneumonia after VFSS during the follow-up period was the primary outcome of this study and secondary outcome was unintentional weight loss. A case of pneumonia was identified based on chest imaging and antibiotic prescription. Aspiration pneumonia is accepted as a part of the continuum of community-acquired pneumonia and hospital-acquired pneumonia rather than a distinct entity, and there have been no robust diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia
