Overview
Common risk factors in the development of aspiration pneumonia include dysphagia, swallowing dysfunction, altered mental status, COPD, and hospitalization. Less common risk factors in the development of aspiration pneumonia include medications, esophageal motility disorders, vomiting, enteral feeding, oropharyngeal colonization, male sex, and smoking.
