Role of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Quality Measures to Predict Community Discharge After Stroke

Main objective: Examine the association between National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores measured during the acute care stay and inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) admission functional status, measured by the IRF-Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI) self-care and mobility quality measures, to deduce if quality measures can serve as a proxy for stroke severity. The self-care and mobility quality measures are indicators of physical function.Secondary objective: Investigate the predictive power of the NIHSS and IRF-PAI admission physical function quality measures to predict community discharge from IRF after stroke.
