“…[19,20] These factors, combined with pneumonia diagnostic-related tests, are also key monitoring indicators for the prevention of pulmonary infections in daily care. [21,22] In recent years, cluster nursing, as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary nursing approach, has been proven to have a positive impact on preventing certain complications. If cluster nursing can effectively prevent their occurrence, it can undoubtedly greatly promote the prognosis of stroke patients, reduce medical costs, and alleviate the burden on the healthcare system.…”

The research aims to explore the intervention effect of cluster nursing methods on bacterial pneumonia in stroke patients in neurology. A retrospective analysis is conducted on 120 patients diagnosed with stroke in the hospital from 2020 to 2022, who are diagnosed as stroke patients in the neurology department by doctors. 120 patients are randomly separated into a control group (CG) and a research group (RG) for the experiment, with 60 people in each group. The CG receive normal nursing; The RG adopt cluster nursing methods. Comparison have done in the general information, nursing satisfaction, physical improvement after intervention, and oral hygiene indicators of the 2 groups of patients, and the intervention effect of the 2 nursing methods on patients suffering from bacterial pneumonia is evaluated. When the time reached the 7th day, the nutritional risk screening scores of both groups were (9.53 ± 2.29) and (8.10 ± 2.12), respectively. The serum albumin levels were (36.46 ± 4.80) g/L and (34.16 ± 3.69) g/L, respectively. After simultaneous nursing intervention, there were P < .005 in respiratory rates in the 2nd and 4th months of intervention, as well as after the completion of nursing intervention. The respiratory rates of the RG patients improved toward a larger range of normal respiratory rates, with significant statistical significance (P < .005). As time passed, the number of people with shortness of breath in the CG increased sharply to 46, while those in the RG was only 27, indicating P < .05 between the 2 groups. At the beginning of the 3rd month, the satisfaction rates of the RG and the CG were (92.33 ± 1.17)% and (78.18 ± 1.07)%, respectively, and there was P < .0.05 between the 2 groups of data. The cluster nursing strategy has a significant relieving effect on bacterial pneumonia in stroke patients in the neurology department, which can effectively reduce the probability of pneumonia, improve their physical condition, and enhance their quality of life. It has certain clinical application value.

For exploring the positive relief effect and application value of cluster nursing strategies on stroke patients with dysphagia in rehabilitation medicine. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with stroke dysphagia admitted to the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of our hospital from June 2021 to November 2022; by comparison, patients were separated into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) according to different degrees of swallowing difficulty, and nutritional nursing interventions were conducted on the selected research subjects. It was given routine care in the CG and a cluster nursing strategy in the IG, with a total intervention time of 5 months. Before intervention, general information of all patients was compared. Before and after intervention, the incidence of aspiration, nutritional biochemical indicators (hemoglobin, total serum protein, albumin, prealbumin, total cholesterol), grip strength, Swallowing Quality of Life score, etc were collected from the 2 groups of patients. Finally, the specific benefits were analyzed through statistical results to evaluate the intervention effect. After intervention, the explicit aspiration rate of the participants in this experiment significantly decreased, and the difference among the participants in this experiment was statistically significant (P < .05); the implicit aspiration rate was not statistically significant (P > .05). In the comparison of nursing expenses, the CG spent 5403.57 ± 815.51 yuan, while the IG spent 5237.10 ± 758.35 yuan. There was a statistically marked disparity among the participants in this experiment (t = 52.41, P < .001). In the comparison of hospitalization expenses, the cost of the CG was 9236.05 ± 3236.08 yuan; The cost of the IG was 9538.59 ± 4985.21 yuan, and there was a marked disparity among the participants in this experiment (P < .001). The significant statistical significance exists (P < .05) in the 5 indicators of hemoglobin, total protein, prealbumin, albumin, and total cholesterol, quality of life scores, and patient physical efficacy in both groups. The intervention study of cluster nursing strategy for stroke patients with dysphagia in rehabilitation medicine can effectively reduce the incidence of overt aspiration and ultimately improve their quality of life. It has high clinical application value.

Background Infection is a common complication in the acute phase after stroke; a systematic review in 2011 reported a post-stroke infection prevalence of 30%. Despite the plethora of primary data on post-stroke infections in recent times, a systematic review that synthesizes the data to provide comprehensive information to guide preventive, control, and management efforts is yet to be undertaken. This systematic review, therefore, aimed at bridging this gap by describing the epidemiology of post-stroke infections including the global prevalence and the associated mortality rates. Methodology A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science resulting in 2210 studies, of which 73 studies covering 32,109,574 stoke patients were included in the systematic review. Prevalence data on defined post-stroke infections were extracted for analysis in RStudio version 4.3.3. Results The pooled prevalence of post-stroke infections and mortality rates were 9.14% and 15.91% respectively. The prevalence of post-stroke infections was highest for pneumonia (12.4%), followed by urinary tract infection (8.31%). Geographically, the prevalence of post-stroke infections for the various continents were Europe (10.41%), Africa (10.22%), South America (8.83%), North America (8.15%), Asia (8.09%), and Australia (7.88%). Common etiological agents of post-stroke infections included multidrug-resistant organisms particularly, Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.4-31.8%), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (9.8-15.4%), and Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (38.5%). Conclusion This systematic review indicates about a 3-fold decline in the global prevalence of post-stroke infections in the last decade. Pneumonia is the most common post-stroke infection. Europe and Africa have the highest prevalence of post-stroke infections. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12883-024-03968-7.
