makes sense higher risk of pna with poor oral hygiene in skilled nursing home patients.

More support for why dental care should be considered health care and included in all medical insurance. It's so ridiculous that we have separated out our teeth from the rest of our bodies.

I think this study just shows there is correlation. It would be more interesting to check the dental records, especially their plaque score and periodontal condition of those subjects prior to stroke.

I'm a believer in the benefits that come from reducing dietary sugar.
