Abstract

Objective This study explored factors which predict stroke survivors who could achieve “clinically significant functional gain” and return home when being discharged from a local hospital after in-patient stroke rehabilitation programme. Methods This study included 562 inpatients with stroke who were residing at community dwellings before onset of stroke, and transferred to a convalescent hospital for rehabilitation from four acute hospitals over one year. The main outcome variables of prediction were (a) achieving “clinically significant functional gain” as measured by (a1) achievement of “minimal clinically important difference” (MCID) of improvement in Functional Independence Measure Motor Measure (FIM-MM)”, (a2) one or more level(s) of improvement in function group according to the patients’ FIM-MM, and (b) discharge to home. Sixteen predictor variables were identified and studied firstly with univariate binary logistic regression and those significant variables were then put into multivariate binary logistic regression. Results Based on multivariate regression, the significant predictors for “clinically significant functional gain” were: younger age <75 years old, higher Glasgow Coma Scale score at admission, with haemorrhagic stroke, intermediate FIM-MM function group. Those significant predictors for “discharge to home” were: living with family/caregivers before stroke, higher FIM score at admission, and one or more level(s) of improvement in FIM-MM function group. Conclusions This study identified findings consistent with overseas studies in additional to some new interesting findings. Early prediction of stroke discharge outcomes helps rehabilitation professionals and occupational therapists to focus on the use of appropriate intervention strategies and pre-discharge preparation.

预测脑卒中住院患者康复后临床显著功能增强和出院的因素——一项回顾性队列研究。
目的:本研究探讨预测脑卒中幸存者在当地医院接受住院脑卒中康复治疗出院后能够实现“临床显著功能获得”并回家的因素。方法:本研究纳入562例中风住院患者,这些患者发病前居住在社区住宅,从4家急性医院转到康复医院进行康复治疗。预测的主要结果变量为(a)实现“临床显著功能增益”(a1)实现“最小临床重要差异”(MCID)的功能独立性测量运动测量(FIM-MM)的改善,(a2)根据患者的FIM-MM功能组的一个或多个水平的改善,(b)出院回家。首先用单变量二元逻辑回归对16个预测变量进行识别和研究,然后将这些显著变量引入多元二元逻辑回归。结果:基于多变量回归,“临床显著功能增加”的显著预测因子为:年龄更小。结论:本研究发现与国外研究一致,并有一些有趣的新发现。脑卒中出院结果的早期预测有助于康复专业人员和职业治疗师专注于使用适当的干预策略和出院前准备。
