The elevated severity of strokes and delayed hospital admissions caused numerous hurdles to rehabilitation administration during the peri-pandemic period. This study surveyed healthcare professionals' knowledge and perceptions of post-stroke rehabilitation during this period. An online cross-sectional survey was administered from September 17, 2023 to February 23, 2024, utilizing the SurveyMonkey platform. The questionnaire included 30 questions addressing participant baseline characteristics, knowledge of definitions and experiences, post-stroke rehabilitation procedures, obstacles encountered during the peri-pandemic period, and the utilization of telerehabilitation. Only complete responses from health professionals were considered. This report utilized convenience sampling. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics and chi-square tests, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. A total of 79 health professionals, predominantly physiatrists, neurologists, and physiotherapists, from eight countries participated in the study. Over half of the participants (64.6%) indicated the existence of a dedicated department for post-stroke rehabilitation. Significant obstacles comprised an absence of advanced rehabilitative treatments (60.8%), inadequately skilled workers (50.6%), and restricted space for rehabilitation (46.8%). Telerehabilitation was regarded as a feasible option by 45.6% of participants; nonetheless, obstacles, including patients' telecommunication proficiency and the possibility of diagnostic inaccuracies, were acknowledged. Complementary therapies, such as music and dance therapy, received favorable evaluations from 67.1% to 63.3% of respondents, respectively. The pandemic reduced rehabilitation admissions due to infection concerns (75.9%) and increased multimorbidity cases among patients (48.1%). The study underscores the pandemic's negative effect on post-stroke rehabilitation, emphasizing the necessity for multidisciplinary, customized therapy and enhanced integration of telerehabilitation to overcome access barriers. Addressing obstacles regarding infrastructure, training, and access to advanced approaches, particularly in a post-pandemic context, is essential to improving rehabilitation outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":21322,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology International","volume":" ","pages":"3063-3071"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142506975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 213 patients, 59 TTr (of whom 32 switched from TTr to FIr) and 186 FIr were included. No between-group difference in mean DAS28-CRP was found (0.10 DAS28-CRP point (95% CI - 0.07 to 0.26)). The TTr strategy did not result in more flares (IRR 1.13, 95%CI 0.87 to 1.47), conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug use (difference - 11.7%, 95%CI - 26.3% to 2.9%), or lower mean yearly RTX dose (difference 172 mg/yr, 95%CI - 355 to 11.7 mg/yr). RTX retreatment with either a TTr or FIr strategy does not seem to lead to better disease control and/or less drug use when used in a DAS28-CRP treat-to-target context. Choice of either strategy can, therefore, be made based on patient and physician preferences and logistical context.</p>","PeriodicalId":21322,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology International","volume":" ","pages":"2921-2925"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139576721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
