Quantifying the amount of physical rehabilitation received by individuals living with neurological conditions in the community: a scoping review

Tyler M. Saumur et al.

Summary: The amount of rehabilitation received by individuals with neurological conditions living in the community varies greatly, with most likely receiving inadequate amounts to improve function and quality of life. Future research should focus on identifying barriers to accessing rehabilitation resources in the community and determining the amount of rehabilitation needed to observe functional improvements.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Rural-Urban Trends in 5-Year Survival of Patients With Lung, Prostate, Breast, and Colorectal Cancers: 1975-2011 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)

Marquita W. Lewis-Thames et al.

Summary: Considering the rural-urban cancer incidence and mortality trends, it is crucial to study the survival trends for different racial and ethnic groups in the rural-urban areas. This study examined the 5-year cancer-specific survival probabilities for lung, prostate, breast, and colorectal cancers among diverse racial and ethnic groups in national rural-urban areas. The findings suggest that non-Hispanic Black patients with cancer are particularly vulnerable to cancer burden, and action is needed to reverse the survival trends.

Post-acute care use patterns among Hospital Service Areas by older adults in the United States: a cross-sectional study

Julianna M. Dean et al.

Summary: Despite the majority of Hospital Service Areas in the United States providing rehabilitation services for stroke survivors, only about a third of the patients lived in these areas, with over 35% needing to travel elsewhere to receive care. Geographic variation in post-acute care utilization highlights the need for further study.

Institutional Postacute Care Use May Help Reduce Readmissions for Ischemic Stroke Patients

Yeunkyung Kim et al.

Summary: This study examined the causal impact of institutional postacute care (PAC) use on 30-day readmission rates for Medicare patients initially admitted for ischemic stroke. The findings suggest that reducing institutional PAC use may lead to adverse postdischarge outcomes that require rehospitalization. Payment incentives to reduce institutional PAC use should be balanced with postdischarge outcomes among ischemic stroke patients.
