The incidences of aspiration after stroke then were evaluated. Results The incidence of aspiration after stroke in control group was 41.3%. Whereas the incidence of aspiration after stroke in QCC group was 21.5%. The findings showed that incidence of aspiration after stroke in QCC group was lower than that in control group (χ2=21.96, P<0.01).
