The early identification of the discharge setting from Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities is a primary goal in stroke-related research because of its clinical and socio-economic relevance. Several features have been identified as significant predictors of the discharge setting. Within cognitive deficits, aphasia is known to be a common and disabling condition that could influence rehabilitation outcome. However, it is often set as an exclusion criterion in stroke research. This study aims to investigate the predictive power of clinical variables, in particular specific language disturbances and nonlinguistic cognitive deficits, for discharge setting in post-acute stroke patients with aphasia after intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation. In a sample of 158 patients, demographic, motor, language, and nonverbal cognitive data were retrospectively considered for the prediction of the discharge to home vs. another institutional setting. Univariate analysis identified relevant differences between groups and the significant variables were included in a logistic regression model. The results showed that better functional motor status, absence of dysphagia and unimpaired nonlinguistic cognitive profile independently predict the discharge to home. In particular, nonverbal cognitive functioning seemed to be specifically relevant within the aphasic population. The findings could be helpful for setting up the rehabilitation priorities and an adequate discharge arrangement.
