Objective To systematically review the accuracy of different stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) assessment tools. Methods The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect studies related to the objects from inception to January 2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. A network meta-analysis was then performed by using Meta-disc 1.4 and Stata 17.0 software. Results A total of 20 studies were included, involving 6 SAP assessment tools. The results of network meta-analysis showed that the sensitivity of AIS-APS was higher than that of A2DS2, and the specificity of A2DS2 was higher than that of PANTHERIS, and the difference was statistically significant. The sensitivity SUCRA values from high to low were: AIS-APS (95.6%) > PANTHERIS (46.7%) > Kwon (44.1%) > A2DS2 (40.5%) > Chumbler (37.3%) > ISAN (35.8%). The specificity SUCRA values from high to low were: A2DS2 (84.0%) > Chumbler (66.0%) > ISAN (59.5%) > AIS-APS (41.4%) > Kwon (37.0%) > PANTHERIS (12.1%) Conclusion Among the common stroke-associated pneumonia screening tools used to screen patients with ischemic stroke, AIS-APS has the highest sensitivity and A2DS2 has the highest specificity.
