Prevalence of XXXX in an Irish sample and its relationship with disability and outcome following inpatient rehabilitation.

@entity1 @entity64 @entity308 @entity146 @entity717
PURPOSE: (1). To examine the prevalence of @entity308 and operationally defined @entity308 ( @entity308 ) in an Irish sample of subjects undergoing inpatient rehabilitation following their first @entity64 . (2). To investigate factors predictive of @entity308 following @entity64 . (3). To examine the relationship between @entity64 and outcome following inpatient rehabilitation. METHODS: Fifty consecutive @entity1 meeting inclusion criteria who were admitted for inpatient rehabilitation to a specialised unit following their first @entity64 were prospectively studied. INCLUSION CRITERIA: first @entity64 3 - 12 months previously, lesion identified on CT or MRI, age 18 - 65 years, at least some sensory/motor impairment, no pre-existing disabling condition and Barthel Index score > 14 prior to @entity64 . Mood (Center for Epidemiologic Studies @entity308 scale, Hamilton @entity308 Rating Scale, DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for Major @entity308 ), Cognition (Mini-Mental State Examination) and Disability (Barthel Index, Rankin Disability Scale) were assessed one week after admission (baseline) and again after 2 months of rehabilitation. Outcome was measured as effectiveness of rehabilitation (Shah et al., 1990) and length of inpatient stay (LOS). RESULTS: 10/50 (20%) of the sample met criteria for major @entity308 on admission. The best predictor of @entity308 was gender, with females having a two-fold higher rate of both subjectively reported and objectively rated @entity308 . @entity308 was unrelated to baseline Barthel Disability, side of lesion or previous @entity146 history. The best predictor of effectiveness of rehabilitation was baseline Barthel Disability score. @entity308 did not predict either effectiveness or LOS. CONCLUSION: (1). @entity308 is common in subjects undergoing rehabilitation following their first @entity64 . (2). Females appear to be especially at risk, possibly reflecting an increased general risk of @entity308 . (3). @entity308 in our sample was not related to @entity717 following @entity64 or early functional outcome following rehabilitation.
