The aim of the study was to check the accuracy of predictions about the factors which affect the progress, in physical abilities and activities of daily living, of patients admitted to a stroke unit. A series of 60 patients admitted consecutively to a stroke unit were assessed on tests of motor, functional and cognitive abilities at admission. On the basis of these assessments predictions were made about the abilities of the patients at discharge. Patients were assessed for level of motor abilities and activities of daily living at discharge and the accuracy of the predictions checked. Predictions were found to be significantly correlated with outcome but the relationships were not so close as to be useful for the clinical management of individual patients.
本研究的目的是检验关于影响入住卒中单元患者身体能力和日常生活活动进展因素的预测准确性。连续入住卒中单元的60例患者在入院时接受了运动、功能和认知能力测试评估。基于这些评估，对患者出院时的能力进行了预测。对患者出院时的运动能力水平和日常生活活动进行了评估，并检查了预测的准确性。结果发现预测与预后显著相关，但这种关系并不紧密，对个体患者的临床管理并无实际帮助。
