Exploring Predictors of Long-Term Care Facility Admissions in Stroke Survivors: Insights from a Taiwanese Hospital-Based Study
Stroke severity, post-stroke functional status and nasogastric tube placement are significant predictors of LTCF admission in stroke patients. Early recognition of these factors is crucial for effective discharge planning and reducing the need for institutionalization. The study emphasizes the need for personalized interventions targeting these risk factors to improve patient outcomes and optimize medical resource utilization.
