Sex/gender differences in service use patterns, clinical outcomes and mortality risk for adults with acquired brain injury: a retrospective cohort study (ABI-RESTART)
CONCLUSION: At admission to rehabilitation and disability support services for acquired brain injury, women have poorer functional independence and higher risk of multiple episodes of care, compared with men, suggesting greater disability in the community. By the time of discharge from these services, women and men make equivalent functional and psychosocial gains. The higher risk of multiple episodes of care for women relative to men suggest women may need additional post-discharge support, to avoid readmission.PMID:37698453 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v55.5303 (Source: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine)
