Who is studied
Stroke management follows a continuum, starting with acute care in neurology and neurosurgery, then progressing to medium- and long-term multidisciplinary rehabilitation in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) department of Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital. Within this context, return to work is a key objective, supported by the expertise of PMR teams and close collaboration with neurology and neurosurgery. To conduct this study, authorisation to access medical records was granted by the Medical Information Department (DIM), covering patients under 64 years old admitted for ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke between January 2020 and December 2024. Screening will be performed on hospitalisations in neurology and neurosurgery, and all eligible patients experiencing a first stroke during this period will be invited to participate.
