Summary
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and with a heavy burden for the society. Despite the demands from 'Socialstyrelsen' of improving post-acute care, an effective structured follow-up to promote a patient-tailored rehabilitation remains largely lacking in the current stroke care. The overall aim of this study is to find a cost-effective solution to facilitate patient-tailored rehabilitation that improves daily and social activities and health-related quality of life for persons discharged from the acute care after stroke. We have recently developed a novel digital graphic tool, Rehabkompassen®, which based on patient-reported outcome measurements captures the patient's complex health status after stroke. Here, this tool will be used in a parallel, open-label, 2-arm prospective and multicenter pragmatic randomized controlled trial between 2022-2026. All participants (n = 1106) will be randomized according to permuted block design; and receive a usual care without (control group, n = 553) or with (intervention group, n = 553) Rehabkompassen®, within 3-month after stroke. The effectiveness of the tool on daily and social activities, quality of life and its health-economic effects will be compared at 12-month follow-up post stroke. We hypothesize that the digital tool Rehabkompassen® will provide a patient-tailored rehabilitation that improves recovery, independence, and quality of life among people with stroke in a cost-effective way.
