OBJECTIVE: To determine whether race is associated with outcomes of inpatient stroke rehabilitation. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: A community-based inpatient rehabilitation facility. PARTICIPANTS: Poststroke patients (N=1002) admitted to a community-based inpatient rehabilitation facility between 1995 and 2001. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Functional improvement at discharge from the rehabilitation facility, discharge disposition, and functional improvement at 3 months after discharge. Inpatient and follow-up data were collected from the facility's electronic patient database. We used the FIM instrument to assess functional status at admission, discharge, and follow-up. RESULTS: In multivariable models, blacks achieved less functional improvement at discharge (-1.9 FIM points, P=.02) compared with whites and, despite worse FIM scores, were more likely to be discharged to home (adjusted odds ratio=1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-2.5). Although Asian-American patients did not differ from whites in terms of functional improvement at discharge or disposition, they had less improvement at 3 months following discharge (-6.3 FIM points, P=.005). CONCLUSIONS: We identified racial disparities in poststroke outcomes in a community-based inpatient rehabilitation facility. Future research in stroke rehabilitation should explore the consistency of these findings across settings and if they are confirmed, identify explanatory mediators to better inform efforts to eliminate racial disparities. 相似文献

AbstractPurpose: This systematic review summarizes the utility of variables available at acute discharge after stroke for predicting functional independence at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. Methods: A systematic review of four electronic databases (Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO and CINAHL) was conducted to identify studies reporting multivariable models predicting post-rehabilitation Barthel Index (BI) or Functional Independence Measure (FIM®) scores. In studies meeting inclusion criteria, the frequency with which candidate predictors were found statistically significant was calculated and summarized. Results: A total of 3260 articles were screened, of which 27 were included and 63 multivariable models of discharge BI or FIM® were reported. In all, 126 candidate predictors of BI or FIM® were explored. Variables found to be significant most frequently included admission functional level (BI or FIM®), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), dysphasia, impulsivity, neglect, previous stroke, and age. Conclusions: Only a selected group of variables have repeatedly proven to be significant predictors of functional ability after post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation. - Implications for Rehabilitation
This review identifies, and summarizes, studies that have used a multivariable model to predict Barthel Index (BI) or Functional Independence Measure (FIM®) after post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation. Clinicians making decisions about admission to inpatient rehabilitation should consider age and a measure of stroke severity, functional status and progress to date. Variables that have been demonstrated to be useful most commonly included age, admission functional level (BI or FIM), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, dysphasia, impulsivity, neglect, and previous stroke.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive capacity of caregiver availability on functional ability at time of discharge from inpatient rehabilitation in individuals with severe first-time stroke. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of severe stroke inpatients admitted to a stroke rehabilitation unit between April 2005 and December 2009. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with patients to determine caregiver availability at time of discharge. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was performed to assess the predictive capacity of caregiver availability on functional ability at discharge from an inpatient rehabilitation unit after controlling for covariates. Results: Data from 180 individuals were included in the analysis. Individuals with a caregiver had significantly higher levels of functional ability at discharge compared to those without (85.8?±?23.6 versus 72.9?±?20.3; p?0.01), although both groups achieved a minimal clinically important difference. After controlling for age, gender, admission Functional Independence Measure, and length of hospital stay, caregiver availability explained 1.3% of additional variance, with the final model explaining 41.3% of total variance for functional ability at discharge ( F (5,174)?=?26.21, p?0.001). Conclusions: The presence of a caregiver at time of discharge from inpatient rehabilitation is predictive of significantly higher functional ability at discharge in individuals with severe stroke. - Implications for rehabilitation
The availability of a caregiver at time of discharge from inpatient rehabilitation is predictive of improved functional ability at discharge in individuals with severe stroke. The presence of an available caregiver positively influences the functional recovery of individuals with severe stroke and may be an important element to successful rehabilitation. 相似文献

The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is a widely accepted scale used to measure the functional abilities of patients undergoing rehabilitation. Scores at the extremes of this scale correlate with discharge disposition, while midrange scores are less well understood. This study evaluated the rate of FIM change with time ("efficiency"), admission and discharge FIM scores, and discharge disposition of 748 patients who underwent stroke inpatient rehabilitation. Patients with low scores at admission or discharge were likely to be discharged to a facility (63% and 78%, respectively), and those with high scores at admission or discharge almost always returned home (88% and 81%, respectively). Those with midrange scores at admission were more likely to return home (62%) than those with similar scores at discharge (33%). Greater FIM efficiency scores were associated with home discharge. Findings provide insight into discharge planning for stroke patients and indicate the need for more detailed evaluation of the midrange group. 相似文献

AimTo define the racial differences present after PEA and asystolic IHCA and explore factors that could contribute to this disparity. MethodsWe analyzed PEA and asystolic IHCA in the Get-With-The-Guidelines-Resuscitation database. Multilevel conditional fixed effects logistic regression models were used to estimate the relationship between race and survival to discharge and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), sequentially controlling for hospital, patient demographics, comorbidities, arrest characteristic, process measures, and interventions in place at time of arrest. ResultsAmong the 561 hospitals, there were 76,835 patients who experienced IHCA with an initial rhythm of PEA or asystole (74.8% white, 25.2% black). Unadjusted ROSC rate was 55.1% for white patients and 54.1% for black patients (unadjusted OR: 0.94 [95% CI, 0.90–0.98], p = 0.016). Survival to discharge was 12.8% for white patients and 10.4% for black patients (unadjusted OR: 0.83 [95% CI, 0.78–0.87], p < 0.001). After adjusting for temporal trends, patient characteristics, hospital, and arrest characteristics, there remained a difference in survival to discharge (OR: 0.85 [95% CI, 0.79–0.92]) and rate of ROSC (OR: 0.88 [95% CI, 0.84–0.92]). Black patients had a worse mental status at discharge after survival. Rates of DNAR placed after survival from were lower in black patients with a rate of 38.3% compared to 44.5% in white patients ( p < 0.001). ConclusionBlack patients are less likely to experience ROSC and survival to discharge after PEA or asystole IHCA. Individual patient characteristics, event characteristics, and hospital characteristics don’t fully explain this disparity. It is possible that disease burden and end-of-life preferences contribute to the racial disparity. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To examine the sensitivity of the Short Form Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) in comparison to the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) across a 12-month period after discharge from rehabilitation hospital. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal study. Patients were recruited while receiving inpatient services from facilities in the north-east USA and interviewed 1, 6 and 12 months thereafter. PATIENTS: Convenience sample of 516 patients at baseline (65% retention at the final follow-up) receiving rehabilitation services for neurological, lower extremity orthopedic, or complex medical conditions. Mean age 68.3 years; 47% male. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: AM-PAC Physical and Movement, Personal Care and Instrumental, and Applied Cognitive Activity scales; FIM Motor and Cognitive scales. RESULTS: All 3 AM-PAC scales were sensitive to both positive and negative change across the follow-up period. Standardized response means for the AM-PAC were consistently larger than for the FIM across patient and severity groups. A greater percentage of patients showed positive change that exceeded the minimal detectable change on the AM-PAC than on the FIM both 6- and 12-month follow-ups. CONCLUSION: The short-form AM-PAC scales are more sensitive measures of change in functional activity performance over time in the general population of persons who receive inpatient rehabilitation services compared to the FIM. Thus, the AM-PAC offers a short, comprehensive, and sensitive measure of positive and/or negative change in patients' ability to perform important activities of daily life. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to assess the incidence of falls and fall consequences among patients who were discharged from inpatient stroke rehabilitation and to investigate the proportion of those who experienced a fear of falling following a fall. This was a follow-up postal questionnaire study of patients who were admitted to the rehabilitation ward in a local hospital (Japan) for stroke rehabilitation. Seventy-three patients who met inclusion criteria were sent questionnaires and 49 (67%) responded to the questionnaire. Thirty-three patients had at least one fall after discharge from the hospital and of these, four patients experienced fractures resulting from their falls. Twenty-nine patients developed a fear of falling. As falls are common in stroke survivors, more attention should be paid to falls after stroke during inpatient rehabilitation to prevent physical and emotional consequences of falls. 相似文献

Purpose: Medical comorbidities in stroke patients influence acute mortality, but may also affect participation of survivors in rehabilitation. There is limited research investigating the impact of comorbidities on stroke rehabilitation outcomes. The review will explore the literature on the impact of comorbidities on stroke rehabilitation outcome. Materials and methods: The literature was searched systematically, including MEDLINE database, EMBASE and PsychINFO, combining variations of the terms stroke, rehabilitation and comorbidities. Results were limited to English language publications. Included studies had a functional outcome. Results: Twenty relevant articles were identified. Fifteen small prospective or large retrospective studies using global comorbidity scales produced conflicting relationships between comorbidities and rehabilitation outcomes. Five publications addressed specific comorbidities, with three studies finding negative correlation between diabetes and rehabilitation outcomes, although effects diminished with age. In general, there were discrepancies in how comorbidities were identified. Few studies specifically focused on comorbidities and/or rehabilitation outcomes. Conclusions: There is conflicting evidence regarding the impact of comorbidities on stroke rehabilitation outcomes. However, the presence of more severe diabetes may be associated with worse outcomes. The role of comorbidities in stroke rehabilitation would be best clarified with a large cohort study, with precise comorbidity identification measured against rehabilitation specific outcomes. - Implications for rehabilitation
Benefit of rehabilitation after stroke in improving functional outcome is well-established. Many stroke patients have comorbid conditions which can impact rehabilitation participation, leading to less benefit obtained from rehabilitation. The burden of comorbid conditions may slow rehabilitation progress, which may warrant a longer duration of rehabilitation to obtain required functional gain to be discharged into the community. 相似文献

In rehabilitation nursing, the patient classification systems or acuity models and nurse-staffing ratios are not supported by empirical evidence. Moreover there are no studies published characterizing nursing hours per patient day, proportion of RN staff and impact of agency nurses in inpatient rehabilitation settings. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to describe rehabilitation nurse staffing patterns, to validate the impact of rehabilitation nursing on patient outcomes, and to test whether existing patient measures on severity and outcomes in rehabilitation could be used as a proxy for burden of care to predict rehabilitation nurse staffing ceilings and daily nurse staffing requirements. A total of 54 rehabilitation facilities in the United States, stratified by geography, were randomly selected to participate in the study. 相似文献

Purpose: In Canada, no standardized benchmarks for length of stay (LOS) have been established for post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation. This paper describes the development of a severity specific median length of stay benchmarking strategy, assessment of its impact after one year of implementation in a Canadian rehabilitation hospital, and establishment of updated benchmarks that may be useful for comparison with other facilities across Canada. Method: Patient data were retrospectively assessed for all patients admitted to a single post-acute stroke rehabilitation unit in Ontario, Canada between April 2005 and March 2008. Rehabilitation Patient Groups (RPGs) were used to establish stratified median length of stay benchmarks for each group that were incorporated into team rounds beginning in October 2009. Benchmark impact was assessed using mean LOS, FIM ® gain, and discharge destination for each RPG group, collected prospectively for one year, compared against similar information from the previous calendar year. Benchmarks were then adjusted accordingly for future use. Results: Between October 2009 and September 2010, a significant reduction in average LOS was noted compared to the previous year (35.3 vs. 41.2 days; p < 0.05). Reductions in LOS were noted in each RPG group including statistically significant reductions in 4 of the 7 groups. As intended, reductions in LOS were achieved with no significant reduction in mean FIM ® gain or proportion of patients discharged home compared to the previous year. Adjusted benchmarks for LOS ranged from 13 to 48 days depending on the RPG group. Conclusions: After a single year of implementation, severity specific benchmarks helped the rehabilitation team reduce LOS while maintaining the same levels of functional gain and achieving the same rate of discharge to the community. Implications for Rehabilitation Efficient post-stroke rehabilitation can help to improve patient outcomes and reduce the financial burden placed on the healthcare system. Yet, unnecessarily long lengths of stay in rehabilitation are not in the best interest of the patient and act to increase the cost of care. This study illustrates how a length of stay benchmarking system can help to promote efficiency in post-stroke rehabilitation and reduce the cost of care without negatively impacting patient recovery.

Freburger JK, Holmes GM, Ku L-JE, Cutchin MP, Heatwole-Shank K, Edwards LJ. Disparities in postacute rehabilitation care for stroke: an analysis of the state inpatient databases. ObjectiveTo determine the extent to which sociodemographic and geographic disparities exist in the use of postacute rehabilitation care (PARC) after stroke. DesignCross-sectional analysis of data for 2 years (2005–2006) from the State Inpatient Databases. SettingAll short-term acute-care hospitals in 4 demographically and geographically diverse states. ParticipantsIndividuals (age, ≥45y; mean age, 72.6y) with a primary diagnosis of stroke who survived their inpatient stay (N=187,188). The sample was 52.4% women, 79.5% white, 11.4% black, and 9.1% Hispanic. InterventionsNot applicable. Main Outcome Measures(1) Discharge to an institution versus home. (2) For those discharged to home, receipt of home health (HH) versus no HH care. (3) For those discharged to an institution, receipt of inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) or skilled nursing facility (SNF) care. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify sociodemographic and geographic disparities in PARC use, controlling for illness severity/comorbid conditions, hospital characteristics, and PARC supply. ResultsBlacks, women, older individuals, and those with lower incomes were more likely to receive institutional care; Hispanics and the uninsured were less likely. Racial minorities, women, older individuals, and those with lower incomes were more likely to receive HH care; uninsured individuals were less likely. Blacks, women, older individuals, the uninsured, and those with lower incomes were more likely to receive SNF versus IRF care. PARC use varied significantly by hospital and geographic location. ConclusionsSeveral sociodemographic and geographic disparities in PARC use were identified. 相似文献

Purpose. The purpose of the project was to identify characteristics associated with successful re-integration into the community post-inpatient rehabilitation after stroke. A key issue was determining re-integration from the person's perspective, taking into account the person's preferred lifestyle choices. Method. Research design: A prospective exploratory follow up study. Participants: A consecutive sample of 45 participants discharged from IP rehabilitation following stroke and 23 carers associated with the participants. Measures: Goal attainment scaling was utilised to determine successful community integration. Factors that may have contributed to goal achievement were measured prior to discharge and at 6 months post-discharge. Scales used include the Functional Independence Measure, Mini Mental test, the CES-D depression scale and a self-efficacy scale, Strategies Used by People to Promote Health. London Handicap Scale scores and Carer Strain Index were collected at 6 months. Results. Twenty percent of participants achieved all their goals. Significant correlations were observed between goal achievement score and concurrent measures of physical function, depression and self efficacy at 6 months post-discharge. Conclusions. Stroke survivors who achieved their goals were less likely to be depressed, showed stronger self efficacy beliefs and more positive perceptions of their participation in everyday and community life. 相似文献
