The identification of norms relating to the status of stroke patients is significant to community plans to provide contemporary health services for stroke patients. This two-phase research study assessed the status of stroke patients for a large metropolitan area. The first phase of research was a retrospective hospital record review conducted on 1,665 subjects admitted to 13 Cincinnati hospitals with the primary diagnosis of stroke. This study showed that the Cincinnati outcomes were consistent with the outcomes demonstrated in the literature. The most typical stroke patient was a 71-year-old woman with right hemiplegia, who was living at home with another adult after spending 17.5 days in the acute care hospital. The behavioral functional levels of 105 disabled stroke patients were assessed in the second phase, using the Level of Rehabilitation Scale. Subjects were analyzed in five functional areas to determine their level of independent living. Demographic data were used to analyze the findings in comparisons. In general, stroke patients function higher in activities of daily living than they do in social interactions. Stroke patients living with another adult demonstrated a lower degree of functioning in activities of daily living than those who lived alone, but scored higher in social interactions.
