Factors associated with the incidence of aspiration pneumonia during hospitalization in older adults admitted for non-respiratory diseases in an acute-care hospital: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAspiration pneumonia (ASP) during hospitalization is associated with poor patient outcomes. We examined the factors associated with ASP onset in older patients in an acute-care hospital in Japan.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the administrative claims database of patients aged > 65 years hospitalized and discharged from a general acute-care hospital between July 2016 and March 2021. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify factors associated with ASP incidence, with independent variables including sex, age (65-74, 75-84, ≥ 85 years), place of residence before admission, income, main disease causing admission, dysphagia at admission, Barthel Index at admission, Charlson Comorbidity Index (0, ≥ 1), Hospital Frailty Risk Score (0-4, ≥ 5), presence of rehabilitation services, surgical treatment, planned hospitalization, enteral nutrition, and total parenteral nutrition.
resultsThe ASP incidence during hospitalization among the 11,504 included patients (mean age 81.1 years) was 1.6%. ASP incidence was associated with female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.451, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.326-0.625), age ≥ 85 years (aOR: 2.901, 95% CI: 1.471-5.718), dysphagia at admission (aOR: 3.810, 95% CI: 1.410-10.293), low activities of daily living level (aOR: 0.971, 95% CI; 0.963-0.979), comorbidities (aOR: 1.839, 95% CI: 1.298-2.605), frailty (aOR: 2.918, 95% CI: 2.089-4.077), unplanned hospitalization (aOR: 3.068, 95% CI: 1.593-5.906), and receiving rehabilitation services during hospitalization (aOR: 0.435, 95% CI: 0.256-0.739).
conclusionThis study identified the factors associated with ASP onset in older patients in an acute-care hospital in Japan. These findings may help identify older inpatients who are more likely to develop ASP, supporting the planning of targeted care strategies during hospitalization.
