| 概要 | INTRODUCTION:Acute stroke rehabilitation is crucial for achieving good functional recovery, even during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed to clarify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on acute stroke rehabilitation and identify which components in the acute stroke rehabilitation provision system were susceptible to the pandemic.METHODS:A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted in all primary stroke centers (PSCs) in Japan between February 7 and April 21, 2022. The survey included questions about the current status of acute stroke rehabilitation and the influence of the pandemic. We classified the influences and investigated the relationship between the influence of the pandemic and the provision of rehabilitation. Additionally, we investigated a group of prefectures divided according to the grade of the pandemic.RESULTS:The survey response rate was 67% (639 of 959 PSCs). Among them, 387 PSCs (61%) reported that the COVID-19 pandemic affected acute stroke rehabilitation. In PSCs affected by the pandemic, more rehabilitation-related staff were working, and the proportion of weekend/holiday rehabilitation implementation was higher compared to those unaffected. In PSCs from highly infected prefectures, no significant relationship was observed between the influence of the pandemic and the rehabilitation provision system.CONCLUSIONS:PSCs that provide denser acute stroke rehabilitation may be affected to a greater extent by the pandemic. We conclude that stroke hospitals should formulate infection control procedures for acute stroke rehabilitation in advance, depending on the conditions of the region and facility. |
