Relationship of @entity387 to functional capacity and length of hospitalization following XXXX .

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Recent evidence indicates that @entity387 is common in @entity1 with @entity64 . We hypothesized that the presence of @entity387 among @entity64 @entity1 would be associated with a greater degree of functional disability and longer hospitalization following @entity64 . DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING AND @entity1 : Sixty-one @entity64 @entity1 admitted to a @entity64 rehabilitation unit. INTERVENTIONS: N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Sleep studies were performed on all @entity1 , and @entity387 was defined as an @entity27 or more per hour of sleep. @entity1 underwent functional assessments, including the Functional Independence Measure. Sleep @entity386 was found in 72% of @entity1 ; 60% had @entity27 , while 12% had @entity2417 . Although the severity of @entity64 was similar in the 2 groups, compared to @entity1 without @entity387 , those with @entity387 had lower functional capacity [Functional Independence Measure score (mean +/- SEM) 80.2 +/- 3.6 versus 94.7 +/- 4.3, p < 0.05 at admission, and 101.5 +/- 2.8 versus 112.9 +/- 2.7, p < 0.05 at discharge] and spent significantly more days in rehabilitation (45.5 +/- 2.3 versus 32.1 +/- 2.7 days, p < 0.005). In addition, multiple regression analysis showed that @entity27 was significantly and independently related to functional impairment and length of hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: Sleep @entity386 is very common among @entity64 @entity1 undergoing rehabilitation, and its presence is associated with worse functional impairment and a longer period of hospitalization and rehabilitation. These data suggest that @entity387 may be contributing to functional impairment and prolonged hospitalization following @entity64 .
