基隆區腦中風病患出院後居家情況追蹤報告

Abstract

From April 1985, to December 1987, 1445 patients were admitted to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Keelung under the diagnosis of cerebral vascular accident ( hemorrhagic or infarction type). By random selection, 343 patients were analyzed by the SPSS. Of these 343 patients, 185 had died by the time this study was carried out. Thus the data available for analysis was incomplete for this deceased group. Only the data of those who survivied was analyzed in the results. The average duration of follow-up was 50.2±8.9 months (36-67 months). Among the survivors (n=158), 57% (n=90) received regular medication treatment, yet only 63% of these 90 patients fully understood the action of drug they received. The resons why 68 patients (43%) stopped taking the medication after discharge were analyzed. There were 66% of patients who had regular home rehabilitation program. For neuro-behaviour changes, 43% and 44.3% of patients had deterioration in their temper and memory respectively. There were 33.5% of patients reporting improvement in their ability to perform activities of daily living on follow-up.
