Accuracy of the Australian National Sub-Acute and Non-Acute Patient Classification in predicting rehabilitation length of stay for stroke survivors who are ≥65 years of age and have lateropulsion

CONCLUSIONS: Inclusion of a measure of poststroke lateropulsion in the AN-SNAP classification model would result in more accurate LOS predictions to inform funding. Costs of longer rehabilitation LOS may be countered by optimized long-term physical function, reducing requirement for ongoing care.PMID:35068380 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.2008594
