Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether home-based rehabilitation (HBR) is as effective as inpatient rehabilitation in patients with acute stroke as well as to identify patients at increased risk of mortality/morbidity during rehabilitation.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The present study included 64 patients with acute stroke who were referred from the neurology service and intensive care units to an inpatient rehabilitation unit (n=28) or HBR programs (n=36). Brunnstrom motor stages, Functional Independence Measure and Stroke Impact Scale scores of all patients were recorded before treatment and 12 weeks after therapy. Evaluation parameters were compared between 2 groups. The presence of any morbidity/mortality that developed during rehabilitation period were recorded. Afterward, all the patients were divided into 3 groups as inpatient, HBR and patients with mortality/morbidity and evaluation parameters before therapy were compared among the groups.
RESULTS: At third month, while there was no significant change in all quality of life subscales following HBR, the improvement in all quality of life subscales following inpatient rehabilitation, except for the memory and emotion subscales were significant. At the end of 12th week; 5 (13.90%) of the 36 patients were died, and another 5 (13.90%) had developed a new cerebrovascular disease in HBR group. The memory, communication and emotion subscales scores of 10 patients with mortality/morbidity were significantly lower than the patients without mortality/morbidity in other 2 groups.
CONCLUSIONS: To better manage difficult clinical encounters, the physician needs to well identify acute stroke patients who will be referred to inpatient rehabilitation or home exercise group. When choosing a rehabilitation program, physicians may also consider the mortality/morbidity related to memory, communication and emotional scores.

AKUT İNME SONRASI YATAN HASTA REHABİLİTASYONU VE EV TABANLI REHABİLİTASYON UYGULAMALARININ KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI: PROSPEKTiF KONTROLLÜ BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı, akut inmeli hastalarda ev temelli rehabilitasyonun yatan hasta rehabilitasyonu kadar etkili olup olmadığını değerlendirmek ve rehabilitasyon sırasında yüksek mortalite/morbidite riski taşıyan hastaları belirlemektir.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmaya, nöroloji servisi ve yoğun bakım ünitelerinden yatan hasta rehabilitasyonu (n=28) veya ev egzersiz programlarına (n=36) yönlendirilen akut inmeli 64 hasta dahil edildi. Tedavi öncesi ve tedaviden 12 hafta sonra tüm hastaların Brunnstrom motor evreleri, Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçeği (FBÖ) ve İnme Etki Ölçeği (İEÖ) skorları kaydedildi. Değerlendirme parametreleri 2 grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Rehabilitasyon süresince gelişen morbidite/mortalite varlığı kaydedildi. Daha sonra tüm hastalar yatan hasta, ev egzersiz ve mortalite/morbidite grubu olarak üç gruba ayrıldı ve tedavi öncesi değerlendirme parametreleri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı.
BULGULAR: Üçüncü ayda, ev egzersiz grubunda yaşam kalitesi ölçeklerinin tüm alt gruplarında anlamlı bir değişiklik olmazken, yatarak rehabilitasyon grubunda yaşam kalitesi ölçeklerinin bellek ve duygu alt ölçekleri dışında anlamlı iyileşme saptandı. 12. haftanın sonunda; ev egzersiz grubunda 36 hastanın 5'i (%13,90) öldü ve 5'inde (%13,90) yeni bir serebrovasküler hastalık gelişti. Mortalite/morbiditesi olan 10 hastanın bellek, iletişim ve duygu alt ölçek puanları, mortalite/morbiditesi olmayan diğer iki hasta grubundan anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü.
SONUÇ: Zor klinik durumları daha iyi yönetmek için hekimin yatan hasta rehabilitasyonu veya ev egzersiz grubuna yönlendirilecek akut inme hastalarını iyi belirlemesi gerekir. Hekimler hastaları bir rehabilitasyon programına yönlendirirken morbidite/mortalite ile ilgili olabilecek hafıza, iletişim ve emosyonel durum skorlarını göz önünde bulundurabilirler.
