Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy of hospital-community-family linkage management in the secondary prevention in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) of endovascular treatment strategy. Methods A total of 96 AIS patients treated with endovascular therapy in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from January 2019 to May 2020 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into experimental group and control group by random number table method, with 48 cases in each group. Patients in the experimental group were treated with hospitalcommunity-family three-way linkage mode, while patients in the control group were followed up routinely. The neurological function and health service utilization were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results The modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The number of emergency visits in the experimental group was less than that in the control group 6 months after discharge, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The number of outpatient visits in the experimental group was more than that in the control group 6 months after discharge,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of re-hospitalizations between the two groups 6 months after discharge (P>0.05). Conclusion The hospital-community-family linkage management provide continued care to patients after they discharged from hospital. It can improve the patients′ability of daily living and use of medical resources as well.
