Following multivariable analyses patients with intracerebral haemorrhage were less likely to be admitted to a stroke unit (adjusted odds ratio 0·65; 95% confidence interval 0·45-0·94) or receive an assessment from allied health (adjusted odds ratio 0·54; 95% confidence interval 0·33-0·89) than patients with ischemic stroke. Patients with intracerebral haemorrhage are also less likely to be independent (adjusted odds ratio 0·36; 95% confidence interval 0·3-0·5) at time of hospital discharge and had a greater odds of dying in hospital (adjusted odds ratio 2·1; 95% confidence interval 1·3-3·5). Patients that were admitted to a stroke unit had a greater odds of being independent (modified Rankin Score 0-2) at day 7-10 irrespective of stroke type or severity on admission (adjusted odds ratio 1·3; 95% confidence interval 1·01-1·66). Conclusions: Following intracerebral haemorrhage, patients were less likely to be admitted to an acute stroke unit and receive allied health interventions. Admission to stroke units improved the likelihood of being independent at days 7-10 and, therefore, more should be done to encourage evidence-based care for intracerebral haemorrhage.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:59 AEDT ]]>
