Baseline characteristics, such as age, gender, stroke location, stroke type, and risk factors, were similar in the 2 groups. There was no difference in outcomes such as FIM score, MAS score, walking velocity, or discharge destination. On regression analysis, the patients in an FSRU had a longer LOS (37.6 versus 35.9 days) and were more likely to be transferred to acute care than from an AHRU (12.4% versus 5.4%). The episode LOS (total LOS in acute and rehabilitation units) was nearly identical in the 2 settings at 52.6 days (15 in acute care + 37.6 days in an FSRU and 16.7 in acute care + 35.9 days in an AHRU).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Stroke rehabilitation effectiveness is not related to the proximity of a rehabilitation facility to acute medical services. However, the increased need for the transfer of patients with medical complications from FSRU to acute care, longer LOS in an FSRU, and greater difficulty in obtaining consultations from other medical specialties persuade us to recommend a unit co\u2010located with acute care services instead of an FSRU.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2011.04.011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,25]],"date-time":"2011-08-25T19:50:16Z","timestamp":1314301816000},"page":"716-722","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Stroke
