Title: Cheshire and Mersey Rehabilitation Network (CMRN) UKROC analysis 2013-2022
Objectives:
To analyse the demography and rehab outcomes of patients admitted to CMRN
Population and sampling:
We analysed a total amount of 2639 patients who were admitted to our Cheshire and Mersey network from April 2013 to September 2022.
Data Collection:
From The UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative (UKROC) which is collected and submitted regularly
Data Analysis:
We analysed the data: number of patients, age, gender, diagnosis, sub diagnosis, length of stay, discharge destination, Tracheostomy status in relation to RCS and FIM+FAM
Results:
An average of 97 patients are admitted to level 1 rehab annually and 167 patients for level 2. Majority of CMRN patients are acquired brain injury patients (71%) with stroke being the leading cause (46%), followed by trauma (35%).
Large proportion of our patients are aged 51-70 (44%) and are males (59%)
9 out of 10 tracheostomy patients are successfully weaned and are discharged to other rehab units. Patients with the tracheostomy had a longer inpatient stay and lower RCS & FIM+FAM improvement score.
64% of PDOC patients remains in PDOC state on discharge, although 87% was weaned off tracheostomy
Youngest age group of 18-30 generally have the shortest stay
Majority of our patients are discharged home (57%) while many have transferred for ongoing rehabilitation and only small proportion of patients gone to care home.
Patients with peripheral neurology has the highest RCS and FIM+FAM score improvement of 3 and 40 respectively. Patients with progressive conditions has the FIM+FAM score improvement of 20.
Patients with brain injury has lowest RCS improvement of approx. 2 but a FIM+FAM score improvement of approx. 35.
Conclusions:
The CMRN delivered high-quality care as per the national guidelines which are evident from the improved outcome of patients
