Cognition, mood, motivation, and social support all influence recovery, and it is difficult to separate intrinsic from adaptive recovery. A simple prognostic score that uses age, ICH volume and location, level of con- sciousness at admission, and pre-ICH cognitive impairment has been shown to predict independence at 90 days.30 Such scores are useful across all patients, but prognostic imaging techniques may also be useful with lesions in specific func- Given that ICH is often located in lobar regions and complicated by intraventricular extension, some patients with specific cognitive deficits or delayed recovery that is dis- proportionate to the size of the lesion may require specialized therapy in rehabilitation.27 The provision of stroke rehabilitation services has received considerable attention in recent years. In part this represents a need to tailor services to ensure optimal recov- ery for patients, and in part it is attributable to fiscal pres- sures on costly health services. Given strong evidence for the benefits of well-organized, multidisciplinary inpatient (stroke unit) care in terms of improved survival, recovery, and returning home compared with care provided in conven- tional nondedicated stroke wards,319 efforts have been made to extend this service model of coordinated care into the community. Specifically, early supported hospital discharge and home-based rehabilitation programs have been shown to whereas home-based therapy for stable patients has been shown to produce comparable outcomes to conventional outpatient rehabilitation.320 Comprehensive stroke units that include rehabilitation services demonstrate improved outcomes compared with other models of stroke The majority of studies do not differentiate ICH patients from those with ischemic stroke. However, a recent random- ized trial in 364 patients in China was specific to ICH, in which a 3 stage in-hospital rehabilitation program was com- pared to standard ward and medical care.
