Abstract:
PURPOSE:To describe aspects of process and outcome during early inpatient rehabilitation of younger adults after single incident brain injury. METHOD:Analysis of a database of 290 patients discharged from an inner-city hospital based inpatient unit for younger adults after single incident neurological events, over a 5-year period. RESULTS:Analysis showed a stable case-mix of patients over the 5 years surveyed with a preponderance of young male patients after traumatic brain injury. Improvements in patients' disability and dependency, measured by the Barthel Index and Functional Independence Measure, were recorded in the majority of patients. The ethnic diversity of the patients, reflecting the multi-cultural nature of the catchment population, did not appear to affect rehabilitation outcome. Failure to record improvement in 15% of patients was related to the floor and ceiling effects of the instruments. A useful regression equation was produced relating length of stay to Barthel score on admission. CONCLUSIONS:These data demonstrate the changes that occur during early inpatient rehabilitation after single incident brain injury. They explore clinical indicators of dependency and outcome, and aspects of resource utilization that characterize our service. Publication of data of this sort, from this and other units, should encourage the development and improvement of current rehabilitation service delivery after brain injury.
