Deans' stroke musings: Association between life satisfaction and fall severity among hospitalized 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.

Association between life satisfaction and fall severity among hospitalized stroke patients

Instead of surveys, COMPETENT RESEARCHERS WOULD CREATE EXACT FALL PREVENTION INTERVENTIONS! So, I call incompetence!

Send me personal hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? No excuses are allowed! You're medically trained; it should be simple to precisely state EXACTLY WHY you haven't worked at all on specific fall prevention with NO EXCUSES! Your definition of competence in stroke is obviously much lower than stroke survivors' definition of your competence! Swearing at me is allowed, I'll return the favor. Don't even attempt to use the excuse that brain research is hard.

Abstract

Falls are common during stroke rehabilitation, leading to physical injuries and psychosocial consequences. While prior studies have explored the association between falls and life satisfaction, the effect of fall-related injury severity remains unclear. This multicenter cross-sectional study included 6,068 stroke inpatients undergoing rehabilitation. Standardized face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect data on fall experiences within the past three months, severity of fall-related injuries, life satisfaction, and other demographic and clinical characteristics. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationships between fall experiences, injury severity, and life satisfaction. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, sex, and activities of daily living, patients who had experienced a fall in the past three months exhibited significantly lower life satisfaction (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.61–0.98, P = 0.0325). However, no significant association was observed between the severity of fall-related injuries and life satisfaction (P > 0.05). These findings highlight the need for fall prevention and psychosocial support in stroke rehabilitation to improve well-being. Future research should explore the mechanisms linking fall-related injuries and life satisfaction to refine rehabilitation strategies.
