Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to clarify the impact of early rehabilitation dosage on functional independence in patients with acute stroke. Specifically, we will (1) investigate the daily rehabilitation dose administered within the first week of hospitalization, and (2) prospectively examine how rehabilitation dose, intensity, and duration influence functional independence at 90 days post-stroke.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days after stroke onset

Key secondary outcomes

The outcome measures of this study include the return-to-work rate, number of survival days, stroke recurrence rate, and Clinical Frailty Index (CFI) at 90 days after stroke onset. Additional outcomes include the length of hospital stay; handgrip strength and Barthel Index score at hospital discharge; in-hospital survival rate during admission; and neurological and functional assessments such as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and Functional Ambulation Category (FAC). Rehabilitation-related variables assessed within the first week of admission include the intensity, frequency, and duration of rehabilitation, as well as the number of days to first mobilization. Furthermore, on day 7 after admission, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, handgrip strength, and NIHSS score will be evaluated. Muscle status will be assessed using ultrasound to measure the cross-sectional area and thickness of the rectus femoris muscle. Additional physical assessments include calf circumference and nutritional status, evaluated using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST).

Other related information

This study will be conducted as a prospective observational study. Following approval by the ethics committee, a total of 20 patients will be enrolled during the patient registration period (with the possibility of including more than 20 cases). Eligible patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be registered by the study coordinating center. Upon ICU admission of a patient who meets the inclusion criteria, the principal investigator or co-investigator at each participating site will assess eligibility for the study (including confirmation of exclusion criteria). A second co-investigator, preferably different from the first, will perform a screening check to verify the accuracy of the initial assessment.

The researchers responsible for screening may include the principal investigator and co-investigators appointed at each site, regardless of their professional discipline.

For patients who meet all eligibility criteria, clinical data required for the study will be entered into a dedicated Excel sheet. A subject identification code (patient registration number) will be created using a method that is not traceable to the patient's medical record number. A separate anonymization correspondence table will be prepared and stored apart from the main database. No personally identifiable information will be included in the database.
