Epidemiology of severe sepsis in the United States: analysis of incidence, outcome, and associated costs of care.
Derek C. Angus,Walter T. Linde-Zwirble,Jeffrey Lidicker,Gilles Clermont,Joseph A. Carcillo,Michael R. Pinsky +5 more
TL;DR: Severe sepsis is a common, expensive, and frequently fatal condition, with as many deaths annually as those from acute myocardial infarction, and is especially common in the elderly and is likely to increase substantially as the U.S. population ages.

Aspiration Pneumonitis and Aspiration Pneumonia
TL;DR: Aspiration pneumonitis (Mendelson's syndrome), whereas aspiration pneumonia is an infectious process caused by the inhalation of oropharyngeal secretions that are colonized by pathogenic bacteria, are distinct clinical entities.

Tube Feeding in Patients With Advanced Dementia: A Review of the Evidence
TL;DR: No data is found to suggest that tube feeding improves any of these clinically important outcomes and some data suggest that it does not, and the widespread practice of tube feeding should be carefully reconsidered.

Swallowing Function After Stroke: Prognosis and Prognostic Factors at 6 Months
TL;DR: Independent predictors of the combined outcome event of swallowing impairment, chest infection, or aspiration at 6 months were videofluoroscopic evidence of delayed oral transit and penetration into the laryngeal vestibule, age >70 years, and male sex.
