Interdisciplinary follow-up clinic for people with spinal cord injury: a retrospective study of a carousel model.

Study Design: Explorative retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Secondary health conditions (SHCs) are common in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). To date, little is known about the effectiveness of long-term follow-up care in preventing SHCs.

Temporal evolution and predictors of subjective cognitive complaints up to 4 years after stroke.

Objective: To examine the temporal evolution of subjective cognitive complaints in the long-term after stroke, and to identify predictors of long-term subjective cognitive complaints.

Methods: Prospective cohort study including 395 stroke patients. Subjective cognitive complaints were assessed at 2 months, 6 months and 4 years post-stroke, using the Checklist for Cognitive and Emotional consequences following stroke (CLCE-24).

Economic evaluation of nurse-led stroke aftercare addressing long-term psychosocial outcome: a comparison to care-as-usual.

Objective: To examine the cost-effectiveness of nurse-led stroke aftercare addressing psychosocial outcome at 6 months post stroke, compared with care-as-usual.

Design: Economic evaluation within a comparative effectiveness research design.

Setting: Primary care (2016-2017) and community settings (2011-2013) in the Netherlands.

Long-term psychosocial outcome following mild traumatic brain injury and minor stroke: a direct longitudinal comparison.

Background And Purpose: Research suggests comparable long-term psychosocial outcomes following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and minor stroke, but no direct comparison has been made. This study aimed to directly compare psychosocial outcome over time in persons with mTBI and minor stroke.

Methods: In this multicenter, prospective longitudinal cohort study, community-dwelling persons with mTBI (n = 182) and minor stroke (n = 48) were assessed at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months post-injury.

Early cognitive and emotional outcome after stroke is independent of discharge destination.

Background And Purpose: Cognitive and emotional problems occur frequently after stroke. Patients with minor stroke are more likely to be discharged home. This paper compares early cognitive and emotional outcomes in patients discharged home after stroke versus patients discharged to inpatient rehabilitation, and examines the effect of cognitive and emotional outcomes on long-term participation.

Course of Social Participation in the First 2 Years After Stroke and Its Associations With Demographic and Stroke-Related Factors.

Background: Many persons with stroke experience physical, cognitive, and emotional problems that contribute to restrictions in social participation. There is, however, a lack of knowledge on the long-term course of participation over time post-stroke.

Objective: To describe the time course of participation up to 2 years post-stroke and to identify which demographic and stroke-related factors are associated with this time course.

Psychological interventions for treating neuropsychiatric consequences of acquired brain injury: A systematic review.

Anxiety, aggression/agitation, apathy and disinhibition are common neuropsychiatric consequences of acquired brain injury (ABI); these consequences can cause functional impairment and lead to reduced social integration. This systematic review aims to provide an examination of the current evidence on psychological interventions for treating these consequences. Two reviewers selected potential relevant articles, retrieved from five literature databases; methodological quality was assessed and appraised.
