Return to Work After Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults: A Multicenter Cohort Study, Systematic Review, and Meta-Analysis.
Background: Ischemic stroke incidence in young adults is increasing globally, with return to work (RTW) a key rehabilitation goal. We aimed to assess the overall proportions of and factors associated with RTW following young adult ischemic stroke.
Methods and results: We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients with ischemic stroke aged 18 to 50 years at 2 tertiary hospitals in Singapore from 2020 to 2022. We evaluated associations between patient characteristics and 3-month RTW status, augmenting these findings with a systematic review and meta-analysis of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases from January 2000 to November 2023. We pooled proportions for RTW and functional recovery (defined as a 90-day modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2) and meta-analyzed associations between patient characteristics and RTW using random-effects models. In this multicenter cohort, 68.8% (249/362) of young patients with ischemic stroke returned to work, while 87.8% (318/362) achieved functional recovery. Multivariable logistic regression showed that patients with large-artery atherosclerosis pathogenesis, diabetes, higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores, and higher 90-day modified Rankin Scale had significantly lower odds of RTW. The systematic review and meta-analyses of 1914 patients across 6 cohort studies identified significantly lower odds of RTW in patients with large-artery atherosclerosis, diabetes, and admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale SCORE >15. The pooled proportion of RTW was 63.2% (984/1574 [95% CI, 56.0-69.9]) and functional recovery 84.7% (719/846 [95% CI, 81.1-87.8]).
Conclusions: Patients with large-artery atherosclerosis, diabetes, and higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at baseline are less likely to RTW. While lower 90-day modified Rankin Scale is significantly associated with RTW, many patients achieving functional recovery do not RTW. Well-designed cohort studies are warranted to explore this disparity.
