Age Is Not the Limit—Functional Outcomes and Discharge Predictors in a Neurorehabilitation Cohort of Mixed Ages

Chronological age was not an independent predictor of home discharge or functional improvement in this mixed-age cohort; generalization to the oldest-old and markedly frail populations should be cautious. Functional status, comorbidities, and therapy factors were more relevant for prognosis. These findings support individualized, age-inclusive rehabilitation strategies that focus on clinical complexity rather than age alone.

Abstract

Chronological age was not an independent predictor of home discharge or functional improvement in this mixed-age cohort; generalization to the oldest-old and markedly frail populations should be cautious. Functional status, comorbidities, and therapy factors were more relevant for prognosis. These findings support individualized, age-inclusive rehabilitation strategies that focus on clinical complexity rather than age alone.
