Introduction: Pneumonia is a complication in stroke. Pneumonia is one of the most common nosocomial infections, with an incidence of 1.5% to 13.0% in stroke patients. Specific factors that increase the risk of pneumonia in stroke patients are not fully known, especially patients who receive intensive care. Methods: Descriptive observational study using a cross-sectional descriptive study design of stroke patients with pneumonia who treated in intensive care Sanglah General Hospital, based on medical record data from 1 January 2017-31 October 2018. Data analysis using quantitative descriptive using SPSS processing software. Results: The incidence of pneumonia was 20% in 70 stroke patients treated in the Intensive Therapy Room. More pneumonia occurs in hemorrhagic stroke patients (78.6%, p = 0.09), first-time stroke (85.7%; p = 0.176), stroke onset ≤ 24 hours (57.1%; p = 0.001) , severe stroke (93.9%; p = 0.362), mechanical ventilator (85.7%; p = 0.497), length of stay more than 7 days (71.4%; p = 0.150), and intensive care living conditions (78.6%; p = 0.113).
