Development and validation of a prognostic nomogram for predicting ventilator-associated pneumonia risk in elderly large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke after endovascular therapy patients.

Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion) poses a grave threat to the health of the elderly, exhibiting a high degree of disability and mortality.

This study aimed to construct and validate a prognostic nomogram to forecast ventilator-associated pneumonia risk in elderly patients who underwent endovascular therapy (endovascular therapy) with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion.
