We present our experience with 30 patients on functional outcomes of patients with anoxic brain injury (ABI, n=15) due to cardiac etiologies from freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital. A convenience sample of patient with traumatic brain injury (TBI, n=15) with similar demographic characteristic to ABI was used for comparison on indices of activity of daily living, cognition, mobility as well as other indices of functional prognosis such as hospital length of stay, cost and discharge predisposition. No statistical significant differences were found between the two groups on the presently employed outcome measures. This investigation supports the positive impact of inpatient rehabilitation for individuals with hypoxia of cardiac etiology. Future research comparing outcomes of ABI to TBI with larger, controlled trials is warranted.
我们介绍了在一家独立住院康复医院对30例因心脏病因导致缺氧性脑损伤（ABI，n = 15）患者的功能预后情况的经验。选取了15例具有与ABI相似人口统计学特征的创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者作为便利样本，用于比较日常生活活动、认知、活动能力以及其他功能预后指标，如住院时间、费用和出院倾向。在目前采用的结局指标上，两组之间未发现统计学显著差异。本研究支持住院康复对心脏病因导致缺氧的个体具有积极影响。有必要开展未来研究，通过更大规模的对照试验比较ABI和TBI的结局。
