Hospitalisation Duration in Stroke Patients
An observational study of Stroke Rehabilitation, run by Ankara Etlik City Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
The stage at which functional recovery stops during the rehabilitation programme and which is one of the important determinants of the discharge decision is called "plateau". Although the definition of plateau is not clear, it is assessed with scales valid for a specific patient. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Factors Affecting the Length of Hospitalisation of Patients In Stroke Rehabilitation
The stage at which functional recovery stops during the rehabilitation programme and which is one of the important determinants of the discharge decision is called "plateau". Although the definition of plateau is not clear, it is assessed with scales valid for a specific patient. Generally, plateau is not a stage in which functional recovery is completely terminated in stroke patients, but a period of pause. Detection of the plateau stage is important in planning the interruption of treatment and discharge of patients who continue inpatient rehabilitation programme. Factors causing plateau should be identified and necessary modifications should be made for effective continuation of the rehabilitation programme.The average length of hospital stay (weeks) of patients hospitalised due to hemiplegia since the opening of Etlik City Hospital will be determined. Patients will be divided into two groups as those hospitalised for shorter and longer than the average length of stay.
