The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of using an assessment of initial physical disability post stroke to predict length of hospital stay (LOS). A series of 106 patients with a primary diagnosis of stroke, admitted consecutively to St Vincent's Hospital Rehabilitation Unit over a 2-year period, was assessed at 2 weeks post stroke using the Mobility Scale for Acute Stroke (MSAS). This scale assesses the level of assistance required for a patient to perform five mobility tasks: bridging, sitting from supine, sitting, sitting to standing, and walking. A model utilizing MSAS data explained 69% of the variation in LOS. The results of this study may assist in developing resource utilization models in stroke rehabilitation.
本研究的目的是调查利用中风后初始身体残疾评估来预测住院时间（LOS）的可能性。在两年期间连续入住圣文森特医院康复科的106例初步诊断为中风的患者，在中风后2周使用急性中风活动量表（MSAS）进行评估。该量表评估患者完成五项活动任务所需的协助水平：搭桥动作、从仰卧位坐起、坐立、从坐位站起和行走。利用MSAS数据的模型解释了住院时间69%的变化情况。本研究结果可能有助于开发中风康复中的资源利用模型。
