Abstract:
Aim:To predict ability of self-care at discharge of inpatients with first-ever cerebral infarction. Method: 346 stroke patients with first-ever cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital were analyzed,male 187,female 159,the average age was 63. 90± 11. 40 years and the average length of stay 36. 53±27.03days. Patients were divided into two groups, self-care and non self-care according to discharged outcome.Nineteen factors were selected from casenote and reports of laboratory and special exam such as EKG,CT or/and MRI. All material were analyzed (t test and X2 test,multiple regression). Result:The age in single factor analysis (P<0. 01)and six factors in regression analysis were significant differences in predicting discharged outcome between two groups. Conclusion:Main factors to predict the ability of self-care at discharge of inpatients were infarction of 1eft brain, large area, multiple focus, and accepted aphasia, arrhythmia as well as hemipareses, This research could be used for clinician to set a discharge plan and a guideline to select patients in early rehabilitation programs.
