Aspiration pneumonia as a cause of death.
This study of aspiration pneumonia is based on postmortem examinations carried out over a decade from 1979 to 1988 at York, on subjects of all ages and both sexes. The purpose of this study was not only to analyse the autopsy findings, but also to find out the real prevalence, the major causes leading to aspiration pneumonia, and its associated clinical features.
