چکیده
Caring for stroke patients in stroke units, compared with other hospital locations, leads to decreased mortality and disability at one year. A trial of a combined acute and rehabilitation ward in Trondheim, Norway, showed that hospital care improved survival and functional outcome at five years. The benefits were attributed to the treatment provided in the first few weeks after stroke. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of care in a non-acute stroke unit on outcome at five years.

متن کاملTen year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial of care in a stroke rehabilitation unit.
Our quantitative findings indicate that a minority of professionals would recruit to a trial comparing planned caesarean section with planned vaginal birth. However, the qualitative finding—that midwives who favoured a trial did so because of their confidence in the benefits of vaginal birth—adds complexity because it negates the necessary individual professional equipoise. We explored the opin...
