description Aim:The aim of this study is to investigate the pure rate of rehospitalisation in stroke patients hospitalised for rehabilitation purpose only.Methods:Patients hospitalised according to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10 (ICD 10) code with the following conditions are included in the study: flaccid hemiplegia (G81.0), spastic hemiplegia (G81.1), hemiplegia unspecified (G81.9). The study is conducted with two groups: patients hospitalised once (n=290) and patients re-hospitalised for stroke rehabilitation purposes (n=38).Results:The mean stroke duration is 12.3±23.5 months. The rate of rehospitalisation is 11.6%. The mean length of hospital stay is 41.4±22.1 days in the hospitalised once group and 40.0±20.1 days in the rehospitalisation group. There are no significant differences between the re-hospitalised and hospitalised once groups in stroke duration, length of hospital stay, Brunnstrom recovery stages for the upper and lower extremities, functional ambulation score and vitamin B12 and D levels.Conclusion:The pure rehospitalisation rate is unknown due to the many different comorbid diseases included in the rehospitalisation rate for stroke patients. Our study provides the rate of rehospitalisation for rehabilitation purposes only. Indeed, the rehospitalisation rate is low in stroke patients hospitalised for rehabilitation purposes only.
