Vluggen TPMM, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the factors associated with home discharge after inpatient rehabilitation among frail and multimorbid older stroke patients. Ninety-two community-dwelling stroke patients (mean age: 79.0 years (SD 6.4); 51.1% females) were assessed in this longitudinal cohort study. Sixteen potentially relevant factors (age; gender; household situation before admission; stroke history; cardiovascular disorders; diabetes mellitus; multimorbidity; cognitive disability; neglect; apraxia; dysphagia; urinary and bowel incontinence; emotional problems; sitting balance; daily activity level; and independence in activities of daily living) measured at admission were examined for their association with discharge to the former living situation. Within 6 months following the start of geriatric rehabilitation, discharge to the former living situation was reported for a total of 71 patients (77.1%). Findings suggest the significant correlation of only a higher level of independence in activities of daily living at admission with home discharge.
