The care model composed of a multidisciplinary team is the best model to promote stroke rehabilitation. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of nurse-led rapid rehabilitation on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study used a non-randomized, historically controlled clinical trial design to compare the efficacy of nurse-led rapid and routine rehabilitation after thrombectomy in patients with ischemic stroke. Treatment outcomes, including hospitalization duration, hospitalization costs, scores on multiple scales at discharge, and clinical outcomes 3 months post-discharge, were assessed and compared between the 2 rehabilitation approaches. Our report is based on the STROBE guidelines. The differences in length of stay in hospital (P = .018), hospitalization expense (P < .001), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) score at discharge (P < .001), modified Rankin scale (MRS) score at discharge (P < .001), and ADL (Activities of Daily Living) score at discharge (P = .156) between the intervention group and the control group were statistically significant. There were statistically significant differences in anxiety/depression (P = .013) and overall quality of life (P = .017) 3 months after discharge. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis showed that interaction effects between group and time were statistically significant for MRS (OR = 0.231, 95% confidence interval: 0.128-0.417, P < .001). The hospitalization time of patients in the intervention group was shortened, and the hospitalization cost was reduced. There were differences in psychological status, and the overall quality of life and improvement of disability status was better.
