Risk factors for long-term care after hemiplegia from cancer-related brain surgery: a pilot study for new prediction model.
CONCLUSIONS: The model developed by the pilot study allowed correct positive or negative prediction for long-term care need after rehabilitation for 90.6% of the patients suffering from cancer- related hemiplegia. A subsequent study on a larger sample of subjects resulted therefore feasible because overall correct prediction was higher than 85%. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Risk factors for intensive care at home (complete absence of motricity of affected limbs, trunk control deficit, fecal incontinence, dysphagia and comorbidity Charlson Index >3) can be useful to evaluate patients suffering from hemiplegia due...
