Referral-based transition to subsequent rehabilitation at home after stroke: one-year outcomes and use of healthcare services.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a lack of knowledge about patients' journeys across the stroke care continuum, especially regarding the transition from inpatient to outpatient care and rehabilitation. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore and describe patterns of healthcare use over a one-year period, health outcomes at 3 and 12 months for patients following a referral-based transition to subsequent rehabilitation in the home, and the caregiver burden on their significant others. A further aim was to explore factors associated with the use of rehabilitation and healthcare after the referral-based transition to continued rehabilitation in the home for people recovering from a stroke.

Methods

Data regarding healthcare use during the first 12 months post-stroke was collect
