To assess the incidence of lung aspiration in acute stroke, and attempt to identify factors which render such patients at risk of aspiration, consecutive patients admitted to hospital within 24 h of their first symptomatic stroke were studied prospectively. Sixty patients who were conscious, and who did not have any preceding neurological or other cause of dysphagia, were assessed clinically and underwent a bedside water-swallowing test and videofluoroscopy within 72 h of stroke. Twenty-five patients (42%) were seen to aspirate at videofluoroscopy; of these 20% did not have overt dysphagia as detected by a simple water-swallowing test. Factors found to be significantly associated with aspiration were reduced pharyngeal sensation, dysphagia and stroke severity. Aspiration is common in the early period following acute stroke; disordered pharyngeal sensation is an important concomitant of this and should be carefully tested in each patient admitted with acute stroke.
