We evaluated the impact of frailty on readmission or death within 30 days after discharge from general internal medicine wards. METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients discharged from 7 medical wards at 2 teaching hospitals in Edmonton....

متن کاملEarly Physical Activity and Discharge Destination after Stroke: A Comparison of Acute and Comprehensive Stroke Unit Care
Background. Common models of acute stroke care include the acute stroke unit, focusing on acute management, and the comprehensive stroke unit, incorporating acute care and rehabilitation. We hypothesise that the rehabilitation focus in the comprehensive stroke unit promotes early physical activity and discharge directly home. Methods. We conducted a two-centre prospective observational study of...
متن کاملVariables associated with 7-day, 30-day, and 1-year fatality after ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Seven-day, 30-day, and 1-year case-fatality indicators have been used to compare stroke care among hospitals, provinces, and countries and to implement quality improvement strategies. However, limited information is available concerning variables associated with stroke case fatality at these different points in time. We sought to identify and compare variables associated ...
