Objective To systematically analyse the application of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), in order to provide reference for clinical healthcare professionals to carry out relevant interventions. Methods  PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chongqing VIP, and SinoMed were systematically searched, with a search period from database establishment until December 31, 2023. The scoping review method was used to analyze the included studies. Results  A total of 16 studies were included, mainly randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies. The research mainly focuses on China and South Korea. The sample size was generally 40-80 cases. The duration of intervention is mostly 2-4 weeks. Six different lung rehabilitation interventions were involved. The main outcome measures included lung function, incidence of SAP, mortality rate, cognitive function, severity of stroke, length of intensive care unit stay, duration of antibiotic use, and daily living activity. Most studies had shown that lung rehabilitation has a significant impact on SAP patients.Conclusions  The effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation in SAP patients has been preliminarily validated. Future research needs to cover a wider range of regions and larger samples, and conduct long-term tracking studies and multidimensional evaluations to enhance the universality and reliability of the results.
