ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This meta-analysis aims to assess the outcomes of supported intervention transitional care compared to traditional care for stroke survivors. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A systematic literature review was accomplished and 4,437 stroke patients were recruited for the current study; 2,211 of them were treated with transitional care and 2,226 with traditional care. The inclusion criteria of the current study recruited only randomized clinical trials up until November 2023. A random analysis model was used to analyze the continuous and dichotomous models.RESULTS:
Supported intervention transitional care (early supported discharge) for stroke survivors showed a significant (p = 0.002) impact regarding the functional status of patients as expressed by the Barthel index (mean difference (MD) = 0.57, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.20-0.94, I² = 93.72%). On the other hand, there were no considerable (p > 0.05) differences regarding other outcomes such as activities of daily living, the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI), the modified Rankin scale (mRS), and mortality (MD = 0.29, 95% CI -0.12-0.69, I² = 94.5%; MD = -0.13, 95% CI -0.40-0.14, I² = 68.65%; MD = -0.13, 95% CI -0.49-0.23, I² = 83.33%; and MD = -0.19, 95% CI -0.58-0.17, I² = 0%; respectively).CONCLUSION:
Supported transitional care allowed stroke survivors to succeed in enhancing their functional status outcomes compared with controls, while there was no significant impact regarding mortality rate. Further investigations and multicenter studies are required to enhance the evidence.
