Deans' stroke musings: Study on the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and rehabilitation of stroke patients

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.

Study on the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and rehabilitation of stroke patients

If you're going to 'analyze' something in stroke at least have a defined purpose for the research. Next steps? Creation of a protocol? Analyzing by itself it useless.

Study on the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and rehabilitation of stroke patients

Abstract

Aim of the study:

To analyse the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level and rehabilitation in stroke patients.

Material and methods:

100 stroke patients hospitalized in the Neurorehabilitation Department of China Rehabilitation Research Center from November 2019 to April 2020 were selected as the research subjects. And set up a case group. 50 subjects who underwent outpatient physical examination in China Rehabilitation Research Center in the same period were selected as the control group. The differences of biochemical and bone metabolism indexes such as serum 25(OH)D, blood lipid, liver and kidney function between the two groups were analysed. We took rehabilitation efficacy as the dependent variable, Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to analyse the indicators affecting rehabilitation efficacy. Results: The average level of 25(OH)D in the case group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The rehabilitation efficacy was significantly positively correlated with 25(OH)D level (p < 0.003) and significantly negatively correlated with duration of disease (p < 0.01) and NIHSS score (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

The increase in 25(OH)D is a protective factor for non-occurrence of cerebral infarction, and the increase in the 25(OH)D level is conducive to the prognosis of cerebral infarction.

Key words:

stroke, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, rehabilitation efficacy, vitamin D deficiency.
