Outcomes of Elderly Stroke Patients:Day Hospital Versus Convential Medical Management
Stroke 26:1616-1619, Hui,E.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Functional improvement(Barthel Index score)was greater in the group managed by the geriatricians with a day hospital facility compared with the conventional group at 3 months(P.03).There were also fewer outpatient visits among the day hospital patients at 6 months(P=.03).No significant difference was found in costs between the two treatment groups.Compared with conventional medical management,care in the geriatric day hospital hastened functional recovery and reduced outpatient visits in elderly stroke patients without additional cost.
