Functional outcomes of average self-care, bed mobility, and transfer scores were statistically, but not clinically, different between groups. More patients in the pandemic group were discharged home (prepandemic n = 454 [65.4%]; pandemic n = 461 [72.6%]; P = 0.011), although they had significantly longer lengths of stay (prepandemic median = 14.0 [interquartile range = 9.0-23.0]; pandemic = 16.0 [10.0-23.0]; P = 0.037).All authors: Wang CY, Petriello M, Chou J, Zorowitz RDFiscal year: FY2024 Digital Object Identifier:

DESIGN: In this retrospective single-center chart review study, functional outcomes, based on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument, were obtained and analyzed for patients in acute inpatient rehabilitation with acquired brain injury.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize and compare functional outcomes of acquired brain injury patients in an inpatient rehabilitation facility in the year before (April 2019-March 2020) and during the first year (April 2020-March 2021) of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the most drastic changes in the delivery of health care occurred.

RESULTS: Data from 1330 patients were included for analysis. Functional outcomes of average self-care, bed mobility, and transfer scores were statistically, but not clinically, different between groups. More patients in the pandemic group were discharged home (prepandemic n = 454 [65.4%]; pandemic n = 461 [72.6%]; P = 0.011), although they had significantly longer lengths of stay (prepandemic median = 14.0 [interquartile range = 9.0-23.0]; pandemic = 16.0 [10.0-23.0]; P = 0.037).
