Abstract: Study determined the predictors of receiving inpatient rehabilitation during 7 to 12 months after stroke. A total of 488 patients with new-onset stroke were included. The primary outcome of interest was the probability of receiving inpatient rehabilitation during 7 to 12 months after stroke. The characteristics of both patients and medical care providers were investigated to determine their effect on patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation. Results suggest that older patients, patients of low socioeconomic status, patients with Charlson Comorbidity Index greater than 5, and patients who received outpatient rehabilitation during 4 to 6 months after stroke have a lower rate of receiving inpatient rehabilitation than do their counterparts. In addition, receiving inpatient rehabilitation during 7 to 9 months after stroke is a strong positive predictor of receiving inpatient rehabilitation during 10 to 12 months after stroke. This study revealed that older age, lower socioeconomic status, and multiple comorbidities are negative predictive factors with a cumulative predictive power for the probability of receiving inpatient rehabilitation during 7 to 12 months after stroke.
