Wiley: JAN 3, 2014

Background

The most effective and efficient model for providing organized stroke care remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare the effect of two models in a randomized controlled trial.

Methods

Outcomes measured at baseline and 90 days postdischarge included functional independence measure, length of hospital stay, and functional independence measure efficiency (change in functional independence measure score ÷ total length of hospital stay).
