Background

Critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPNM) increasingly is recognized as a source of disability in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The prevalence and impact of CIPNM on patients in the rehabilitation setting has not been established.

Objectives

To determine the proportion of at-risk rehabilitation inpatients with evidence of CIPNM and the functional sequelae of this disorder.

Design

Prospective observational study.

Setting

Tertiary academic rehabilitation hospital.

Patients

Rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission for at least 72 hours.

Methods

Electrodiagnostic studies were performed to evaluate for axonal neuropathy and/or myopathy in at least one upper and one lower limb.

Main Outcome Measurements

The primary outcome was prevalence of CIPNM. Secondary outcomes included Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS), and discharge disposition.

Results

A total of 33 participants were enrolled; 70% had evidence of CIPNM. Admission FIM score, discharge FIM, FIM gain, and FIM efficiency were 64.1, 89.9, 25.5, and 0.31 in those with CIPNM versus 78.4, 94.6, 16.1, and 0.33 in those without CIPNM, respectively. Average RLOS was 123 days versus 76 days and discharge to home was 57% versus 90% in the CIPNM and non-CIPNM groups, respectively.

Conclusions

CIPNM is very common in rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission. It was associated with a lower functional status at rehabilitation admission, but functional improvement was at a similar rate to those without CIPNM. Longer RLOS stay may be required to achieve the same functional level.

Objective

To assess the efficacy of activities of daily living (ADL) retraining during posttraumatic amnesia (PTA) compared with ADL retraining commencing after emergence from PTA.

Design

Randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation center.

Participants

Participants with severe TBI (N=104), admitted to rehabilitation and remaining in PTA for >7 days, were randomized to receive either treatment as usual (TAU) with daily ADL retraining (treatment), or TAU alone (physiotherapy and/or necessary speech therapy) during PTA.

Interventions

ADL retraining was manualized, followed errorless and procedural learning principles, and included individualized goals. Both groups received occupational therapy as usual after PTA.

Main Outcome Measures

Primary outcome was the FIM completed at admission, PTA emergence, discharge, and 2-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included length of rehabilitation inpatient stay, PTA duration, Agitated Behavior Scale scores, and Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) scores at follow-up. Groups did not significantly differ in baseline characteristics.

Results

On the primary outcome, FIM total change, random effects regression revealed a significant interaction of group and time (P<.01). The treatment group had greater improvement in FIM scores from baseline to PTA emergence, which was maintained at discharge, but not at follow-up. Twenty-seven percent more of the treatment group reliably changed on FIM scores at PTA emergence. Group differences in length of stay, PTA duration, agitation, and CIQ scores were not significant; however, TAU trended toward longer length of stay and PTA duration.

Conclusions

Individuals in PTA can benefit from skill retraining.  相似文献

Objective

To analyze the complex relation between various social indicators that contribute to socioeconomic status and health care barriers.

Design

Cluster analysis of historical patient data obtained from inpatient visits.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation unit in a large urban university hospital.

Participants

Adult patients (N=148) receiving acute inpatient care, predominantly for closed head injury.

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

We examined the membership of patients with traumatic brain injury in various “vulnerable group” clusters (eg, homeless, unemployed, racial/ethnic minority) and characterized the rehabilitation outcomes of patients (eg, duration of stay, changes in FIM scores between admission to inpatient stay and discharge).

Results

The cluster analysis revealed 4 major clusters (ie, clusters A–D) separated by vulnerable group memberships, with distinct durations of stay and FIM gains during their stay. Cluster B, the largest cluster and also consisting of mostly racial/ethnic minorities, had the shortest duration of hospital stay and one of the lowest FIM improvements among the 4 clusters despite higher FIM scores at admission. In cluster C, also consisting of mostly ethnic minorities with multiple socioeconomic status vulnerabilities, patients were characterized by low cognitive FIM scores at admission and the longest duration of stay, and they showed good improvement in FIM scores.

Conclusions

Application of clustering techniques to inpatient data identified distinct clusters of patients who may experience differences in their rehabilitation outcome due to their membership in various “at-risk” groups. The results identified patients (ie, cluster B, with minority patients; and cluster D, with elderly patients) who attain below-average gains in brain injury rehabilitation. The results also suggested that systemic (eg, duration of stay) or clinical service improvements (eg, staff's language skills, ability to offer substance abuse therapy, provide appropriate referrals, liaise with intensive social work services, or plan subacute rehabilitation phase) could be beneficial for acute settings. Stronger recruitment, training, and retention initiatives for bilingual and multiethnic professionals may also be considered to optimize gains from acute inpatient rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury.  相似文献

Objective

To explore the factor structure of the UK Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure (FIM+FAM) among focal and diffuse acquired brain injury patients.

Design

Criterion standard.

Setting

A National Health Service acute acquired brain injury inpatient rehabilitation hospital.

Participants

Referred sample of adults (N=447) admitted for inpatient treatment following an acquired brain injury significant enough to justify intensive inpatient neurorehabilitation

Intervention

Not applicable.

Outcome Measure

Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure.

Results

Exploratory factor analysis suggested a 2-factor structure to FIM+FAM scores, among both focal-proximate and diffuse-proximate acquired brain injury aetiologies. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested a 3-factor bifactor structure presented the best fit of the FIM+FAM score data across both aetiologies. However, across both analyses, a convergence was found towards a general factor, demonstrated by high correlations between factors in the exploratory factor analysis, and by a general factor explaining the majority of the variance in scores on confirmatory factor analysis.

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that although factors describing specific functional domains can be derived from FIM+FAM item scores, there is a convergence towards a single factor describing overall functioning. This single factor informs the specific group factors (eg, motor, psychosocial, and communication function) after brain injury. Further research into the comparative value of the general and group factors as evaluative/prognostic measures is indicated.  相似文献

Background

A significant proportion of burn injury patients are admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). There is increasing interest in the use of functional variables, such as cognition, in predicting IRF outcomes. Cognitive impairment is an important cause of disability in the burn injury population, yet its relationship to IRF outcomes has not been studied.

Objective

To assess how cognitive function affects rehabilitation outcomes in the burn injury population.

Design

Retrospective study.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation facilities in the United States.

Participants

A total of 5347 adults admitted to an IRF with burn injury between 2002 and 2011.

Methods or Interventions

Multivariable regression was used to model rehabilitation outcome measures, using the cognitive domain of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) instrument as the independent variable and controlling for demographic, medical, and facility covariates.

Main Outcome Measurements

FIM total gain, readmission to an acute care setting at any time during inpatient rehabilitation, readmission to an acute care setting in the first 3 days of IRF admission, rate of discharge to the community setting, and length of stay efficiency.

Results

Cognitive FIM total at admission was a significant predictor of FIM total gain, length of stay efficiency, and acute readmission at 3 days (P < .05). Cognitive FIM total scores did not have an impact on acute care readmission rate or discharge to the community setting.

Conclusions

Cognitive status may be an important predictor of rehabilitation outcomes in the burn injury population. Future work is needed to further examine the impact of specific cognitive interventions on rehabilitation outcomes in this population.

Objective

To describe the calculation and psychometric properties of the discharge self-care functional status quality measure implemented in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Quality Reporting Program on October 1, 2016.

Design

Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients from 38 IRFs that participated in the CMS Post-Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration were included in this cohort study. Data came from the Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation Item Set, IRF–Patient Assessment Instrument, and Medicare claims. For each patient, we calculated an expected discharge self-care score, risk-adjusted for demographic and baseline clinical characteristics. The performance score of each IRF equaled the percentage of patient stays where the observed discharge self-care score met or exceeded the expected score. We assessed the measure's discriminatory ability across IRFs and reliability.

Setting

IRFs.

Participants

Medicare FFS patients aged ≥21 years (N=4769).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

Facility-level discharge self-care quality measure performance score.

Results

A total of 4769 patient stays were included; 57% of stays were in women, and 12.1% were in patients aged <65 years. Stroke was the most common diagnosis (21.8%). The mean±SD performance score was 55.1%±16.6% (range, 25.8%–100%). About 54% of IRFs had scores significantly different from the percentage of stays that met or exceeded the expected discharge self-care score in the overall demonstration sample. The quality measure showed strong reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients of .91.

Conclusions

The discharge self-care quality measure showed strong discriminatory ability and reliability, representing an important initial step in evaluation of IRF self-care outcomes. A wide range in performance scores suggested a gap in quality of care across IRFs. Future work should include testing the measure with nationwide data from all IRFs.  相似文献

Background

Growing numbers of allogeneic stem cell transplants and improved posttransplant care have led to an increase of individuals with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Although cGVHD leads to functional impairment for many, there is limited literature regarding the benefits of acute inpatient rehabilitation for patients with cGVHD.

Objective

To assess Functional Independence Measure (FIM) outcomes of patients with cGVHD during acute inpatient rehabilitation and to compare inpatient rehabilitation outcomes with patients with burn injuries, a rehabilitation patient population with similar comorbidities.

Design

Retrospective chart review.

Setting

Acute rehabilitation center at a large academic medical center.

Patients (or Participants)

A total of 37 adult patients with cGVHD and 30 with burn injuries admitted to inpatient rehabilitation from 2010 to 2015.

Methods or Interventions

Linear regression analysis to evaluate group (cGVHD versus burn) differences in functional gains. Effect size and minimal detectable change at the 90% confidence level (MDC90) were used to evaluate change in FIM outcomes.

Main Outcome Measurements

Total FIM gain, motor FIM gain, and FIM efficiency.

Results

Patients with cGVHD had statistically significant lower functional gains than patients with burn injuries, with an average of 11.66 fewer total FIM points (P ≤ .001), 10.54 fewer motor FIM points (P = .01), and 2.45 units less of FIM efficiency (P = .01). At the time of discharge, 7 (18%) patients with cGVHD exceeded the MDC90 values for total FIM gain versus 9 (30%) patients with burn injuries (P = .26). Eight (21%) patients with cGVHD exceeded the MDC90 for motor FIM gain versus 13 (43%) patients with burn injuries (P = .048). Effect sizes for patients with cGVHD and with burn injury were moderate to large, respectively, with patients with burn injuries having nearly twice the magnitude of gains as patients with cGVHD.

Conclusions

Despite achieving more modest functional gains than patients with burn injuries, patients with cGVHD improved in function after acute inpatient rehabilitation. If replicated in larger studies, patients with functional impairment from cGVHD can be considered for inpatient rehabilitation. Future work should also determine minimal clinically important differences in function gain from inpatient rehabilitation for patients with cGVHD.

Objective

To examine facility-level rates of all-cause, unplanned hospital readmissions for 30 days after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs).

Design

Observational design.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation facilities.

Participants

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries (N=567,850 patient-stays).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

The outcome is all-cause, unplanned hospital readmission rates for IRFs. We adapted previous risk-adjustment and statistical approaches used for acute care hospitals to develop a hierarchical logistic regression model that estimates a risk-standardized readmission rate for each IRF. The IRF risk-adjustment model takes into account patient demographic characteristics, hospital diagnoses and procedure codes, function at IRF admission, comorbidities, and prior hospital utilization. We presented national distributions of observed and risk-standardized readmission rates and estimated confidence intervals to make statistical comparisons relative to the national mean. We also analyzed the number of days from IRF discharge until hospital readmission.

Results

The national observed hospital readmission rate by 30 days postdischarge from IRFs was 13.1%. The mean unadjusted readmission rate for IRFs was 12.4%±3.5%, and the mean risk-standardized readmission rate was 13.1%±0.8%. The C-statistic for our risk-adjustment model was .70. Nearly three-quarters of IRFs (73.4%) had readmission rates that were significantly different from the mean. The mean number of days to readmission was 13.0±8.6 days and varied by rehabilitation diagnosis.

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate the ability to assess 30-day, all-cause hospital readmission rates postdischarge from IRFs and the ability to discriminate between IRFs with higher- and lower-than-average hospital readmission rates.  相似文献

Background

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become an increasingly popular and effective means for treating advanced heart failure. LVAD implantation requires extensive surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) has been used to quantify functional gains in numerous patient populations, including those with stroke and spinal cord injury. This study investigated functional improvements in patients undergoing LVAD implantation using the FIM score.

Objective

To assess functional improvements in patients with advanced heart failure who underwent LVAD implantation.

Design

Retrospective.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation unit.

Subjects

Ninety consecutive patients who received acute inpatient rehabilitation after continuous flow LVAD implantation.

Methods

Demographic, laboratory, and functional outcomes data including inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU) length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and FIM score were collected for all patients. Paired t-tests were used to assess change in functional measures and laboratory data.

Main Outcome Measures

Primary outcome measures included FIM gain, FIM efficiency, discharge disposition, rates of readmission after discharge from rehabilitation, and LOS in the rehabilitation unit.

Results

The FIM gain was statistically significant at 28.4 ± 12.3 (P < .001) and compared favorably with benchmarks for mean FIM gains at our facility (26.4), regionally (21.5), and nationally (22.7) for patients admitted to IRUs with a cardiac diagnosis. FIM efficiency (FIM gain/IRU LOS) was 1.9 ± 1.0 compared with the mean FIM efficiency at our facility (2.2), regionally (2.1), and nationally (2.2). Seventy-four percent (n = 67) of patients were discharged directly home after inpatient rehabilitation, 17% (n = 16) were readmitted to the acute hospital service, and 8% (n = 7) required additional rehabilitation at a subacute rehabilitation facility. The IRU LOS was 16.2 ± 6.9 days.

Conclusions

Our study indicates that most patients with an LVAD achieve clinically meaningful functional gains from acute inpatient rehabilitation, with the majority of patients being discharged home. Further studies need to be performed to analyze clinical outcomes after acute inpatient rehabilitation.

Objective

To improve the practical use of the short forms (SFs) developed from the item bank, we compared the measurement precision of the 4- and 8-item SFs generated from a motor item bank composed of the FIM and the Minimum Data Set (MDS).

Design

The FIM-MDS motor item bank allowed scores generated from different instruments to be co-calibrated. The 4- and 8-item SFs were developed based on Rasch analysis procedures. This article compared person strata, ceiling/floor effects, and test SE plots for each administration form and examined 95% confidence interval error bands of anchored person measures with the corresponding SFs. We used 0.3 SE as a criterion to reflect a reliability level of .90.

Setting

Veterans' inpatient rehabilitation facilities and community living centers.

Participants

Veterans (N=2500) who had both FIM and the MDS data within 6 days during 2008 through 2010.

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

Four- and 8-item SFs of FIM, MDS, and FIM-MDS motor item bank.

Results

Six SFs were generated with 4 and 8 items across a range of difficulty levels from the FIM-MDS motor item bank. The three 8-item SFs all had higher correlations with the item bank (r=.82-.95), higher person strata, and less test error than the corresponding 4-item SFs (r=.80-.90). The three 4-item SFs did not meet the criteria of SE <0.3 for any theta values.

Conclusions

Eight-item SFs could improve clinical use of the item bank composed of existing instruments across the continuum of care in veterans. We also found that the number of items, not test specificity, determines the precision of the instrument.  相似文献

Objectives

Work-related components are an essential part of rehabilitation programs to support return to work of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. In Germany, a guideline for work-related medical rehabilitation was developed to increase work-related treatment components. In addition, new departments were approved to implement work-related medical rehabilitation programs. The aim of our study was to explore the state of implementation of the guideline’s recommendations by describing the change in the delivered dose of work-related treatments.

Design

Nonrandomized controlled trial (cohort study).

Setting

Fifty-nine German rehabilitation centers.

Participants

Patients (N=9046) with musculoskeletal disorders were treated in work-related medical rehabilitation or common medical rehabilitation. Patients were matched one-to-one by propensity scores.

Interventions

Work-related medical rehabilitation in 2014 and medical rehabilitation in 2011.

Main Outcome Measures

Treatment dose of work-related therapies.

Results

The mean dose of work-related therapies increased from 2.2 hours (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6-2.8) to 8.9 hours (95% CI, 7.7-10.1). The mean dose of social counseling increased from 51 to 84 minutes, the mean dose of psychosocial work-related groups from 39 to 216 minutes, and the mean dose of functional capacity training from 39 to 234 minutes. The intraclass correlation of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.58-0.75) for the total dose of work-related therapies indicated that the variance explained by centers was high.

Conclusions

The delivered dose of work-related components was increased. However, there were discrepancies between the guideline’s recommendations and the actual dose delivered in at least half of the centers. It is very likely that this will affect the effectiveness of work-related medical rehabilitation in practice.  相似文献

Objectives

To investigate the relation of gait training (GT) during inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) to outcomes of people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Design

Prospective observational study using the SCIRehab database.

Setting

Six IPR facilities.

Participants

Patients with new SCI (N=1376) receiving initial rehabilitation.

Interventions

Patients were divided into groups consisting of those who did and did not receive GT. Patients were further subdivided based on their primary mode of mobility as measured by the FIM.

Main Outcome Measures

Pain rating scales, Patient Health Questionnaire Mood Subscale, Satisfaction With Life Scale, and Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART).

Results

Nearly 58% of all patients received GT, including 33.3% of patients who were primarily using a wheelchair 1 year after discharge from IPR. Those who used a wheelchair and received GT, received significantly less transfer and wheeled mobility training (P<.001). CHART physical independence (P=.002), mobility (P=.024), and occupation (P=.003) scores were significantly worse in patients who used a wheelchair at 1 year and received GT, compared with those who used a wheelchair and did not receive GT in IPR. Older age was also a significant predictor of worse participation as measured by the CHART.

Conclusions

A significant percentage of individuals who are not likely to become functional ambulators are spending portions of their IPR stays performing GT, which is associated with less time allotted for other functional interventions. GT in IPR was also associated with participation deficits at 1 year for those who used a wheelchair, implying the potential consequences of opportunity costs, pain, and psychological difficulties of receiving unsuccessful GT. Clinicians should consider these data when deciding to implement GT during initial IPR.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate response shift effects in spinal cord injury (SCI) over 5 years postinjury.

Design

Prospective cohort study observed at 1, 2, and 5 years post-SCI.

Setting

Specialized SCI centers.

Participants

Sample included 1125, 760, and 219 participants at 1, 2, and 5 years post-SCI (N = 2104). The study sample was 79% men; 39% were motor/sensory complete (mean age, 44.6±18.3y).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

Patient-reported outcomes included the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey version 2 and the Life Satisfaction-11 Questionnaire. Participant latent variable scores were adjusted for (1) potential attrition bias and (2) propensity scores reflecting risk of worse outcomes. The Oort structural equation modeling approach for detecting and accounting for response shift effects was used to test the hypothesis that people with SCI would undergo response shifts over follow-up.

Results

The study data comprised the time after FIM scores, an objective measure of motor and cognitive function, had improved and stabilized. Three latent variables (Physical, Mental, and Symptoms) were modeled over time. The response shift model indicated uniform recalibration and reconceptualization response shift effects over time. When adjusted for these response shift effects, Physical showed small true change improvements at 2- and 5-year follow-up, despite FIM stability.

Conclusions

We detected recalibration and reconceptualization response shift effects in 1- to 5-year follow-up of people with SCI. Despite stable motor and cognitive function, people with SCI are adapting to their condition. This adaptation reflects a progressive disconnection between symptoms and physical or mental health, and a real improvement in the Physical latent variable.  相似文献

Objective

To examine whether there are differences in inpatient rehabilitation facilities' (IRFs') all-cause 30-day postdischarge hospital readmission rates vary by organizational characteristics and geographic regions.

Design

Observational study.

Setting

IRFs.

Participants

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries discharged from all IRFs nationally in 2013 and 2014 (N = 1166 IRFs).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

We applied specifications for an existing quality measure adopted by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for public reporting that assesses all-cause unplanned hospital readmission measure for 30 days postdischarge from inpatient rehabilitation. We estimated facility-level observed and risk-standardized readmission rates and then examined variation by several organizational characteristics (facility type, profit status, teaching status, proportion of low-income patients, size) and geographic factors (rural/urban, census division, state).

Results

IRFs’ mean risk-standardized hospital readmission rate was 13.00%±0.77%. After controlling for organizational characteristics and practice patterns, we found substantial variation in IRFs' readmission rates: for-profit IRFs had significantly higher readmission rates than did not-for-profit IRFs (P<.001). We also found geographic variation: IRFs in the South Atlantic and South Central census regions had the highest hospital readmission rates than did IRFs in New England that had the lowest rates.

Conclusions

Our findings point to variation in quality of care as measured by risk-standardized hospital readmission rates after IRF discharge. Thus, monitoring of readmission outcomes is important to encourage quality improvement in discharge care planning, care transitions, and follow-up.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate the extent to which physical performance measures of strength, balance, and mobility taken at discharge from inpatient stroke rehabilitation can predict health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and community reintegration after 6 months.

Design

Longitudinal study.

Setting

University laboratory.

Participants

Adults (N=75) recruited within 1 month of discharge home from inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) for HRQoL and Subjective Index of Physical and Social Outcome (SIPSO) for community reintegration. Physical performance measures were the 6-minute walk test, timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Berg Balance Scale, Community Balance and Mobility Scale, and isokinetic torque and power of hip, knee, and ankle on the paretic and nonparetic sides. Other prognostic variables included age, sex, stroke type and location, comorbidities, and motor FIM score.

Results

Separate stepwise linear regressions were performed using the SF-36 and SIPSO as dependent variables. The total paretic lower limb torque and 6-minute walk test predicted the SF-36 Physical Component Summary (adjusted R2=.30). The total paretic lower limb torque and TUG test predicted the SIPSO physical component (adjusted R2=.47). The total paretic lower limb torque significantly predicted the SF-36 Mental Component Summary, but the adjusted R2 was low (.06). Similarly, the TUG test significantly predicted the SIPSO social component, but again the adjusted R2 was low (.09).

Conclusions

Measures of physical performance including muscle strength and mobility at discharge can partially predict HRQoL and community reintegration 6 months later. Further research is necessary for more accurate predictions.  相似文献

Objective

To explore the accuracy of rehabilitation service use reports by older adults as well as variation in accuracy by demographic characteristics, time since use, duration, and setting (inpatient, outpatient, home).

Design

Longitudinal observational study.

Setting

Participants' homes.

Participants

Community-dwelling adults ages 65 and older (N=4228) in the 2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study who were enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B for 12 months before their interview.

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

Respondents were asked whether they received rehabilitation services in the past year and the duration and location of services. Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System codes and Revenue Center codes were used to identify Medicare-eligible rehabilitation service.

Results

Survey-based reports and Medicare claims yielded similar estimates of rehabilitation use over the past year. Self-reported measures had high sensitivity (77%) and positive predictive value (80%) and even higher specificity and negative predictive value (approaching 95%). However, in adjusted models, sensitivity was lower for black enrollees, the very old, and those with lower education levels.

Conclusions

Survey-based measures of rehabilitation accurately captured use over the past year, but differential reporting should be considered when characterizing rehabilitation use in certain subgroups of older Americans.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate frequency, type, and characteristics of work anxieties in patients with somatic illness.

Design

Cross-sectional observation study.

Setting

Neurology, orthopedic, and cardiology rehabilitation clinics.

Participants

Patients (N=1610; age, 18–65y) with work anxieties.

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

Patients who scored high on at least 2 of 9 items in the work-anxiety screening questionnaire and who reported impairment were investigated with a differential diagnostic interview on work anxieties and with the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview on non–work-related common mental disorders. Patients also filled out a self-rating questionnaire on their subjective symptom load and sociodemographic data.

Results

Approximately 20% to 27% of the investigated inpatients in somatic rehabilitation (altogether n=393) received a work-anxiety diagnosis. Patients with orthopedic illness report highest work anxiety and have previous longest sick leave (20.6wk in the past 12mo). Patients with orthopedic illness suffer from work-related adjustment disorder with anxiety, social anxieties, and workplace phobias, whereas patients with cardiac illness are more often affected by hypochondriac anxieties. Anxieties of insufficiency and worrying occur equally in all indications.

Conclusions

About a quarter of patients in somatic rehabilitation are in need of additional diagnostic attention owing to work anxieties. Differential diagnostic of work anxiety is needed for initiating adequate therapeutic action. Somatic rehabilitation physicians should be aware of work anxieties in their patients, especially in patients with orthopedic illness with previous long-term sick leave.  相似文献

Objective

To determine the characteristics of community-dwelling older adults receiving fall-related rehabilitation.

Design

Cross-sectional analysis of the fifth round (2015) of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS). Fall-related rehabilitation utilization was analyzed using weighted multinomial logistic regression with SEs adjusted for the sample design.

Setting

In-person interviews of a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling older adults.

Participants

Medicare beneficiaries from NHATS (N=7062).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcomes Measures

Rehabilitation utilization categorized into fall-related rehabilitation, other rehabilitation, or no rehabilitation.

Results

Fall status (single fall: odds ratio [OR]=2.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.52–5.77; recurrent falls: OR=14.21; 95% CI, 7.45–27.10), fear of falling (OR=3.11; 95% CI, 1.90–5.08), poor Short Physical Performance Battery scores (score 0: OR=6.62; 95% CI, 3.31–13.24; score 1–4: OR=4.65; 95% CI, 2.23–9.68), and hip fracture (OR=3.24; 95% CI, 1.46–7.20) were all associated with receiving fall-related rehabilitation. Lower education level (less than high school diploma compared with 4-y college degree: OR=.21; 95% CI, .11–.40) and Hispanic ethnicity (OR=.37; 95% CI, .15–.87) were associated with not receiving fall-related rehabilitation.

Conclusions

Hispanic older adults and older adults who are less educated are less likely to receive fall-related rehabilitation. Recurrent fallers followed by those who fell once in the past year were more likely to receive fall-related rehabilitation than are older adults who have not had a fall in the past year.  相似文献

Objective

To determine whether patient-reported measures would be clinically sensitive and useful for identifying functional change within an intensive chronic pain program setting by examining 2 patient-reported measures administered as part of physical and occupational therapy for chronic pain.

Design

A retrospective data analysis of children and adolescents with chronic pain treated over a single calendar year. Paired t tests evaluated change in perceived function measures and pain over time. Standardized residual change scores were used in subsequent regression to assess associations between change scores.

Setting

An interdisciplinary pediatric pain rehabilitation program that supports children and adolescents with chronic pain by increasing strength, flexibility, and endurance; facilitating a return to daily life activities; and using appropriate self-directed coping and pain management skills.

Participants

Children and adolescents (N=109; age range, 8–19y; 83% girls) with various chronic pain diagnoses who were admitted to a 3- to 4-week intensive pain rehabilitation program.

Interventions

Participants were involved in physical and occupational therapy for 3 hours daily, as well as recreation therapy, psychology, school, aquatics, art therapy, and music therapy for a total of 8 hours daily. Parents were involved in parent education with therapists from all disciplines in conjunction with their child's programming.

Main Outcome Measures

Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI), and self-reported pain severity rating on 0-to-10 numerical rating scale.

Results

Data demonstrated significant gains in LEFS and UEFI during the program. Improvement in perceived functioning was significantly correlated with a reduction in pain.

Conclusions

The LEFS and UEFI provide a meaningful way to track progress in chronic pain rehabilitation. Using self-perceived measures, children and adolescents noted significant functional improvement, associated with less pain intensity. These findings increase our understanding of the rehabilitation process and point to goals for clinical improvement.  相似文献
