Estimated Life-Time Savings in the Cost of Ongoing Care Following Specialist Rehabilitation for Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in the United Kingdom.

Objectives: To evaluate cost-efficiency of rehabilitation following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and estimate the life-time savings in costs of care.

Setting/participants: TBI patients (n = 3578/6043) admitted to all 75 specialist rehabilitation services in England 2010-2018.

Design: A multicenter cohort analysis of prospectively collated clinical data from the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative national clinical database.

Unmet need for specialised rehabilitation following neurosurgery: can we maximise the potential cost-benefits?

Objective: To identify the needs for specialised rehabilitation provision in a cohort of neurosurgical patients; to determine if these were met, and to estimate the potential cost implications and cost-benefits of meeting any unmet rehabilitation needs.

Methods: A prospective study of in-patient admissions to a regional neurosurgical ward. Assessment of needs for specialised rehabilitation (Category A or B needs) was made with the Patient Categorisation Tool.

Cost-efficiency of specialist hyperacute in-patient rehabilitation services for medically unstable patients with complex rehabilitation needs: a prospective cohort analysis.

Objectives: To evaluate functional outcomes, care needs and cost-efficiency of hyperacute (HA) rehabilitation for a cohort of in-patients with complex neurological disability and unstable medical/surgical conditions.

Design: A multicentre cohort analysis of prospectively collected clinical data from the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative (UKROC) national clinical database, 2012-2015.

Setting: Two HA specialist rehabilitation services in England, providing different service models for HA rehabilitation.

Cost-efficiency of specialist inpatient rehabilitation for working-aged adults with complex neurological disabilities: a multicentre cohort analysis of a national clinical data set.

Objectives: To evaluate functional outcomes, care needs and cost-efficiency of specialist rehabilitation for a multicentre cohort of inpatients with complex neurological disability, comparing different diagnostic groups across 3 levels of dependency.

Design: A multicentre cohort analysis of prospectively collected clinical data from the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative (UKROC) national clinical database, 2010-2015.

Setting: All 62 specialist (levels 1 and 2) rehabilitation services in England.

A cost analysis of specialist inpatient neurorehabilitation services in the UK.

Objective: To determine the range and variation in costs and service characteristics between different levels of specialist neurorehabilitation services in England, and to determine key predictors of service costs.

Design: A retrospective analysis of service costs, staffing and activity levels, with comparison across service types.

Setting: Specialist neurorehabilitation services (n = 17) from different areas of England, were divided into three types according to predefined criteria: adult level 1 (tertiary) (n = 8) and level 2a (supra-district) (n = 7) services; and children's services (n = 2).
