- Abstract
We did not plan a TSA at protocol development stage, because our review followed the Cochrane methodology that did not recommend TSA methods (https://methods.cochrane.org/sites/default/files/public/uploads/tsa expert panel guidance and recommendation final.pdf). Heterogeneity was 33% (acute care studies) and 15% (both acute and critical care studies), respectively, for pneumonia incidence, and hence, why additional analyses using a random-effects model was not conducted. Swallowing therapy compared to standard care may not have had a beneficial effect on the incidence of pneumonia for patients in acute care.
