ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors of transfer of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients who underwent rehabilitation in acute care hospitals. We retrospectively identified 85 patients with GBM who underwent rehabilitation at our hospital. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age and Barthel index (BI) at rehabilitation initiation significantly influenced the discharge destination. Cut-off values for these factors were 76 years of age and 30 BI points. These findings could help predict the discharge destination and the choice of rehabilitation strategies of newly diagnosed patients with GBM admitted to an acute care hospital.
