Factors Associated With Continuum of Acute to Postacute Care in Stroke.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Acute to postacute care continuum for individuals with stroke significantly influences functional recovery, quality of life, and healthcare utilization. Prior studies have focused largely on older adults with stroke, limiting generalizability for the younger population. Objective: This study is aimed at identifying patient- and hospital-level factors associated with postacute discharge destination following acute stroke hospitalization. Design: This study is a retrospective cohort study. Setting: This study was set in acute care hospitals in Virginia (2017-2021). Participants: Participants are adults ≥ 18 years hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke identified in the Virginia All-Payer Claims Database. Interventions: There were no interventions applicable. Main Outcomes: Postacute care discharge destination was categorized as home, home health, skilled nursing facility (SNF), inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), or other. Patient-level variables included age, sex, race, insurance, comorbidity burden, stroke type, length of stay, and hospital-acquired complications. Facility-level variables included hospital size, ownership, stroke center status, and county-level clinical care rankings. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated associations between patient and hospital factors and postacute care discharge destination. Results: Older age, higher comorbidity burden, presence of hospital-acquired complications, and longer length of stay were associated with increased likelihood of discharge to post-acute care, particularly IRF and SNF. Male patients were less likely than females to be discharged to home health (OR = 0.90, 95 Conclusions: Postacute care after stroke is associated with both clinical complexity and sociodemographic factors. These findings highlight potential differences and variations in postacute care and support the need for standardized discharge processes that can integrate medical and social determinants of health to optimize long-term recovery.
