Facility‐Level Factors Associated With Aspiration Pneumonia in Japanese Geriatric Health Service Settings: A Nationwide Cross‐Sectional Study
Facilities characterized by frequent aspiration events or a history of AP tended to have a higher incidence of AP. The absence of occupational therapists was associated with an increased facility-level risk of AP, suggesting that organizational differences in care management may influence AP in long-term care settings.
