Assessment of home-time after acute ischemic stroke in Medicare beneficiaries.
The researchers evaluated home-time as a patient-centered outcome in Medicare beneficiaries with ischemic stroke in comparison with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days and at 1 year post event. They concluded that in a population of older patients with ischemic stroke, home-time was readily available from administrative data and associated with mRS at 90 days and 1 year.

Contemporary trends and predictors of postacute service use and routine discharge home after stroke.
The authors examined trends in discharge to inpatient rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, home with home health, and home without services for patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at hospitals participating in Get With The Guidelines-Stroke. They found that four in 10 stroke patients are discharged home without postacute care services. They recommended further research to explain the shift in service use by type and its effect on outcomes.
