A high-risk population for stroke recurrence exists among home-based stroke survivors discharged from an acute care hospital: A retrospective analysis
Discharge decisions after acute-phase treatment were primarily influenced by short-term functional independence, as reflected by mRS, rather than recurrence risk levels. Thus, a substantial proportion of stroke survivors with a high recurrence risk transitioned to home care. These findings highlight the need to revise current medical and social welfare services and to develop targeted strategies for stroke recurrence prevention, based on a more detailed understanding of the living environments of stroke survivors.
