African Americans and Women Have Lower Functional Gains During Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation After Hemorrhagic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Intracerebral hemorrhage can lead to significant long-term disability. While research in stroke rehabilitation has focused primarily on ischemic strokes, identifying factors that impact recovery in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage is necessary. Our purpose is to identify factors, including racial and sex disparities, associated with functional outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage patients after inpatient rehabilitation.

Design

This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility at an academic tertiary facility in the Southeastern United States from 2016 to 2019. Clinical characteristics, demographics, admission, and discharge Functional Independence Measure scores were collec
