Predictors of Acute Transfer and Mortality Within 6 Months From Admission to an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility for Patients With Brain Tumors.

Objective: To obtain useful information for clinicians in evaluating patients with brain tumors for transfer to and subsequent care in inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs).

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Trunk Injuries in Athletes.

Trunk pain is a common cause of performance limitation and time away from sport in athletes. However, atraumatic trunk injuries are underrepresented in medical literature and underrecognized clinically. Delays in diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment can increase injury morbidity and return-to-play time.

A Comparison of Functional Outcomes between Patients Admitted to Inpatient Rehabilitation after Initial Diagnosis Versus Recurrence of Glioblastoma Multiforme.

Background: Prior studies of inpatient rehabilitation of patients with brain tumor demonstrate similar functional gains as compared to other rehabilitation populations. There are few studies specifically examining the rehabilitation of patients with glioblastoma.

Objective: To compare functional outcomes between matched patients admitted to acute inpatient rehabilitation after initial diagnosis of glioblastoma (iGBM) and after diagnosis of recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM).

Number needed to treat for stroke thrombectomy based on a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The positive results of recent clinical trials examining endovascular treatment of acute stroke were the culmination of nearly two decades of studies of endovascular stroke treatment. We systematically reviewed this body of work, evaluated the strength of evidence, and performed a meta-analysis to define the clinical impact of these investigations. Terms were entered into search engines in a systematic fashion.
