Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Assessment of rehabilitation following intracerebral hemorrhage in China: findings from the Chinese stroke center alliance

Assessments do no fucking good at all unless there are recovery protocols initiated as a result of those assessments.

Objectives

Evidence shows that rehabilitation is the most effective strategy to reduce the disability rate of patients with stroke. However, there is limited understanding about the factors associated with rehabilitation assessment among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in China. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with rehabilitation assessment in patients with ICH and the relationship between rehabilitation assessment and hospitalization outcomes.

Methods

Data from 85,664 patients with ICH admitted to 1,312 hospitals between 1 August 2015 and 31 July 2019 were analyzed. A multivariable logistic regression model accounting for in-hospital clustering was used to identify patient and hospital factors associated with rehabilitation assessment during acute hospitalization.

Results

A total of 62,228 (72.6%) patients with ICH underwent rehabilitation assessments. In multivariable analyses, factors associated with an increased likelihood of undergoing a rehabilitation assessment (P < .05) included a higher Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission, a history of hypertension, a history of peripheral vascular disease, dysphagia screening, carotid vessel imaging, and a longer length of hospital stay. Conversely, patients admitted to the intensive care unit and tertiary-grade hospitals were less likely to undergo rehabilitation assessments during hospitalization for ICH.

Discussion

This study showed that the rate of rehabilitation assessment was 74.2%, which is low. Rehabilitation assessment was associated with longer hospital stays and lower mortality. Therefore, patients with acute cerebral haemorrhage should undergo comprehensive and professional rehabilitation assessment.
