Background: According to the statistics of death rates in the Russian Federation in recent years, diseases of the circulatory system are regarded as the leading cause of mortality (50.07%, or 653.9 per 100 thousand in 2015). Identification of the main trends specific to the dynamics of the health state of post-stroke patient provides an opportunity to conduct substantiated medical and rehabilitation measures focused on the improvement of health status and life quality of this category of people with the greatest economic efficiency which is essential and relevant under the conditions of permanent financial limitation in medical and social care.Aims: To assess the medical and social characteristics of patients who had acute cerebrovascular accidents and underwent medical rehabilitation in outpatient settings.Materials and methods: A retrospective research was performed; the subject of the study is post-stroke patients who received medical rehabilitation in outpatient settings in the period 2011−2015. The data was obtained by collecting information from the outpatient’s medical documents and processed by statistical and analytical methods of investigation.Results: The study analyzed 400 records of post-stroke patients who underwent medical rehabilitation in outpatient settings. The investigated data revealed some medical and social characteristics of the “typical” patient undergoing medical rehabilitation: working-age patient with first stroke who had no defined disability category but had comorbid pathology in past medical history and high-stress intellectual profession.Conclusions: The analysis allows selecting the priority areas of medical and preventive work aimed at improving the quality of life and health of the population. Specification of the patient’s medical and social characteristics is the key element in the formation of targeted programs of preventive and rehabilitation measures.

Currently, the problem of early rehabilitation of stroke patients is important, since in terms of the prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases and disability after suffering a stroke, Russia is one of the first places in the world. The complex of medical rehabilitation of such patients should provide for the early and most complete restoration of all body functions, patient education for lost skills, re-socialization of the patient and improvement of the quality of life. One of the factors contributing to a significant reduction in the quality of life after a stroke is the development of chronic constipation. The article reflects the modern methods of correction of chronic constipation in patients with limited mobility.

Introduction Detailed data on the long-term consequences and treatment of stroke are scarce. We aimed to assess the needs and disease burden of community-dwelling stroke patients and their carers and to compare their treatment to evidence-based guidelines by a stroke neurologist. Methods We invited long-term stroke patients from two previous acute clinical studies ( n = 516) in Berlin, Germany to participate in an observational, cross-sectional study. Participants underwent a comprehensive interview and examination using the Post-Stroke Checklist and validated standard measures of: self-reported needs, quality of life, overall outcome, spasticity, pain, aphasia, cognition, depression, secondary prevention, social needs and caregiver burden. Results Fifty-seven participants (median initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 10 interquartile range 4–12.75) consented to assessment (median 41 months (interquartile range 36–50) after stroke. Modified Rankin Scale was 2 (median; interquartile range 1–3), EuroQoL index value was 0.81 (median; interquartile range 0.70–1.00). The frequencies for disabilities in the major domains were: spasticity 35%; cognition 61%; depression 20%; medication non-compliance 14%. Spasticity ( p = 0.008) and social needs ( p < 0.001) had the strongest impact on quality of life. The corresponding items in the Post-Stroke Checklist were predictive for low mood ( p < 0.001), impaired cognition ( p = 0.015), social needs ( p = 0.005) and caregiver burden ( p = 0.031). In the comprehensive interview, we identified the following needs: medical review (30%), optimization of pharmacotherapy (18%), outpatient therapy (47%) and social work input (33%). Conclusion These results suggest significant unmet needs and gaps in health and social care in long-term stroke patients. Further research to develop a comprehensive model for managing stroke aftercare is warranted. Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov NCT02320994.
