Data on comorbidities, functional status, nursing care dependency and clinical outcomes were analysed using multivariable models. Dysphagia screening with the Volume\u2010Viscosity Swallow Test was evaluated as a preventive nursing care indicator.

Patients were predominantly older adults with high comorbidity and functional impairment. Overall mortality was 39.3%. In\u2010hospital aspiration pneumonia was associated with higher mortality, longer hospital stay and greater healthcare costs than community\u2010acquired aspiration pneumonia. Mean total costs were \u20ac15,163 for in\u2010hospital cases and \u20ac6406 for community\u2010acquired cases. Dysphagia screening with the Volume\u2010Viscosity Swallow Test was markedly underutilised despite a high proportion of positive findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Aspiration pneumonia is a severe and potentially preventable complication among hospitalised older adults, particularly when acquired in hospital.
