Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the association between preadmission care need levels and long-term outcomes in older stroke patients.
  • Analyzed data from older patients hospitalized for stroke
  • Evaluated long-term outcomes related to preadmission care need levels
  • Used LTCI CNL as a primary indicator of care need
  • Higher preadmission LTCI CNL correlates with increased all-cause mortality after discharge
  • Identifying high-risk patients can inform clinical decisions and treatments for stroke
  • Understanding functional status before stroke can enhance post-stroke care strategies

Abstract

Higher preadmission LTCI CNL was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality after discharge in older patients hospitalized for stroke. LTCI CNL may serve as a practical indicator for identifying patients at high mortality risk. Understanding how pre-stroke functional status influences long-term survival may provide valuable information for early clinical decision making in stroke treatment.
