title: [The care of patients with cerebral circulatory disorders in the catchment area of one of Warsaw's neurological hospital departments. II. Indications for active ambulatory care of patients discharged from the hospital].
abstract: In a continuation of the analysis of patients hospitalized for cerebrovascular disease their status upon discharge from the hospital was estimated. It was thought that at least 18% of the admitted patients and about 31% of the discharged patients aged below 80 years were suitable for outpatient rehabilitation treatment after discharge because of motor or speech disturbances, and about 9% of the discharged patients required speech reeducation due to aphasia. Among patients after cerebrovascular episodes qualified after discharge for ambulatory active care because of persistent motor deficit or speech disturbances those with past ischaemic stroke prevailed, they were aged mostly 70-79 years. It may be estimated that at least 7% of patients discharged home after stroke (and about 4% of all admitted cases) require special care and nursing because of coexistence of other serious diseases or previously suffered disability. They are potential candidates for care in welfare homes, and when they remain in their homes they depend on the help and care, in different grades, on the assistance of a nurse or at least an unqualified welfare worker.
