Parameters assessed included stroke type, severity measured using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, stroke history, stroke\u2010related factors, number of teeth, hospitalization cost and duration, occurrence of fever and pneumonia, stroke treatment, days from admission to dental intervention, and intervention frequency.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Implementation of the new system significantly reduced the time before dental intervention (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), increased the frequency of interventions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and allowed for the management of more severe cases (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007). However, there was a slight increase in the occurrence of fevers and the days of fever (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.039 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.015, respectively).

Even after propensity score matching adjusting for stroke severity, these associations persisted. Additional multiple regression analysis was performed after this, but fever days were positively correlated with stroke severity and sex (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 and
