Description

The stroke unit model of care reduces mortality and dependency after stroke in developed countries. (1,2) The multidisciplinary stroke unit model of care improves early outcomes in an under-resourced urban setting in South Africa. (3) In such a setting, resources for rehabilitation (inpatient and outpatient) are limited and there is concern that early benefits achieved in an acute stroke unit could be eroded by a lack of adequate rehabilitation after discharge. We aimed to determine the survival, disability and functional outcomes of stroke patients following their discharge from an acute stroke unit to community-based health care and rehabilitation. We sought to identify factors that predicted poor outcomes. The ability to identify patients at risk of poor outcomes could assist in developing community-based models of stroke care with effective allocation of scarce resources. Methods
