Having More Daughters Independently Predicts Home Discharge in Stroke Patients Admitted to Inpatient Rehabilitation Ward

Socio-environmental predictive factors for discharge destination after inpatient rehabilitation in patients with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis

PURPOSE

To identify which of the socio-environmental factors of patients with stroke are predictive for discharge to their home after inpatient rehabilitation. Because discharge planning is a key component of rehabilitation, it is important to recognize the predictive factors for a discharge home. Other systematic reviews demonstrated the value of functional outcome measures. This review adds to the current literature by assessing the predictive value of socio-environmental factors, which shape the context in which a person lives.

METHODS

We performed a systematic search in seven databases. Two independent reviewers selected studies and assessed them for methodological quality. We extracted data to estimate pooled odds ratio for household situation, social support, ethnicity and socioeconomic status.

RESULTS

Forty studies were included. Significant estimates were found for living with others (OR 2.60; 95%CI 1.84-3.68), having support at home (OR 11.48; 95%CI 6.52-20.21), being married (OR 2.05; 95%CI 1.80-2.33) and living at home before stroke (OR 31.01; 95%CI 7.38-130.18).

CONCLUSION

Living at home and benefiting from social support, including living with others, are important factors to consider during discharge planning after stroke. Further research should consider the impact of socioeconomic status.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONEvaluating the social and environmental factors of patients with stroke plays an important role in discharge planning.Next to functional status, caregiver availability (support at home) is among the strongest predictive factors for discharge home.To assess caregiver availability, the presence of a willing and able caregiver should be surveyed at admission.Further predictive factors for discharge home are cohabitation and marital status.

Development The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) for Predicting Disability and Functional Outcome to Support Discharge Planning After Ischemic Stroke

Introduction: A discharged stroke patients with disability from hospital need special identify in order to obtain a meaningful quality of life, to improve the functional status of patient’s life quality can be started immediately at admission patient in health sevices. The initial discharge planning was carried out to explore patient’s needs during inpatient and discharge with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). NIHSS as a predictor model to discharge stroke patient with disability , need to identify effectivity of it  to improve the functional status of patient’s life quality with stroke.Methods: Search of journal articles used PECOT framework in the database; Sciencedirect, CINAHL, Elseiver, Sage, Scopus, Ebscohost, and Medline with limitations of publication time is in the last 15 years (2004-2019) by including keywords Natioanal Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, discharge planning, ischemic stroke.Results: There are 10 journals according specified criteria design that discuss the interventions of discharge planning model patient stroke.Conclusion: NIHSS can be applied to predicting disability and functional outcome status of patient’s life quality with stroke.
