Abstract
Background
Current
stroke research suggests that there are differences between females and
males regarding incidence, stroke risk factors, stroke severity,
outcome, and mortality. The few studies that have investigated sex
differences in rehabilitation 8-12 months poststroke found that males
are more independent, compared to females.Objectives
To
investigate if there is a difference in the improvement of independence
in activities of daily living (ADL) between females and males in the
acute phase (first 2 weeks) of stroke rehabilitation in a Danish
population.Methods
A prospective cohort study enrolling patients
admitted to the hospital's rehabilitation ward with a stroke diagnosis
from January 1, 2016, to March 17, 2017. Baseline and follow-up data
regarding the primary outcome, Barthel-100 index, were analyzed using an
adjusted linear mixed model.Results
The study included 206
patients (83 females). Females were older at admission and more males
lived with a partner. No differences in stroke severity or any of the
risk factors were found. There were no differences between female and
male scores at baseline. In the adjusted linear mixed model, quantifying
the difference between follow-up and baseline Barthel-100 score,
females increased their Barthel-100 score by 20.8 points (95% confidence
interval (CI) 15.4-26.3) and males with 29.0 points (95% CI 24.6-33.4).Conclusion
In
a homogeneous sample of stroke survivors undergoing specialized 24-h
stroke rehabilitation for 11-14 days, females were more dependent in ADL
than males.
