Patient complexity in stroke rehabilitation should be viewed on a spectrum related to discharge ability rather than a simple binary state.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports spectrum-based complexity assessment in stroke rehab; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Patient complexity is not a dichotomous state. If applying existing complexity definitions, all patients are complex. This study extends the understanding by suggesting a structural element of complexity from manageable to less manageable complexity based on ability to discharge.
