Introduction: Several differences have been reported between male and female patients with stroke in clinical and sociodemographic features, treatment, and outcomes. Potential effects in the inpatient rehabilitation population are unclear. Objective: To evaluate the differences between male and female patients in discharge functional status, length of stay, and discharge home after inpatient rehabilitation for stroke. Design: Retrospective, population-based cohort study. Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation centers in Ontario, Canada. Participants: Male (N = 10,684) and female (N = 9459) patients discharged from acute care between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2017, with a diagnosis of stroke and subsequently admitted to inpatient rehabilitation. Exposure Variable: Female sex. Main Outcome Measures: Discharge Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score, length of stay, and discharge home. Results: Female patients had a lower functional status at discharge (mean FIM score 94.1 vs. 97.8, p < .001) and a lower proportion were discharged home (81.1% vs. 82.9%, p = .001). Female and male patients had similar rehabilitation length of stay (mean 31.8 vs. 31.7 days, p = .90). In the adjusted analyses, there was no difference in discharge functional status between male and female patients (FIM score β -.20 [95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.64 to 0.25]). Female patients had a mean length of stay 2% shorter (0.98 [95% CI 0.96-0.99]) and a higher odds of discharge home (odds ratio [OR] 1.14 [95% CI 1.05-1.24]). Conclusions: There were no clinically significant sex differences in outcomes after inpatient rehabilitation for stroke. Observed sex disparities in the general stroke population may not be directly applicable to individuals undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
