Popis: Purpose To evaluate the value of the combination of the age, atrial fibrillation, dysphagia, male sex, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (A2DS2) score and serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentration in predicting stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). Patients and Methods A total of 398 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from the medical ward was included in this retrospective study. They were divided into the SAP group and non-SAP group according to the diagnostic criteria of SAP. Multivariate analysis was performed to analyze the association between the A2DS2 score, serum IL-6 concentration, and SAP using a backward stepwise logistic regression model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of the A2DS2 score, serum IL-6 concentration and combination of A2DS2 score and IL-6 in predicting SAP. Results SAP was diagnosed in 70 patients (17.6%). Multivariate analysis showed that the A2DS2 score (odds ratio [OR]: 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17–4.99, P=0.017) and serum IL-6 concentration (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.44–1.95, P
