Assessment for rehabilitation after stroke dataset

Full description

This dataset contains data from a cluster randomised trial, with hospitals randomly allocated to receive either an education-only intervention or a multifaceted intervention to improve rehabilitation assessment practices. The outcome of interest was documentation of rehabilitation needs in the medical records of patients with stroke by a health professional providing ward-based care in the acute hospital. Data were also collected about documentation of rehabilitation needs by rehabilitation service representatives, whether patients accessed rehabilitation when they were discharged from the acute hospital ward or hospital, whether patients were admitted to an acute stroke unit, and discharge destination. Demographic data of patients were collected including sex, age, pre-stroke living situation (home alone, home with others, residential care), pre-stroke mobility (independent, not independent) stroke severity (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS), stroke type (Oxfordshire Stroke Classification) and whether the person was born in Australia.
