Stroke patients’ rehabilitation success rates reveal troubling patterns as we enter 2025. Short-term outcomes fail to meet expected standards. Patient survival has improved with stroke mortality rates dropping 12.8% between 2014 and 2019, but recovery metrics haven’t kept up with these improvements. Patient outcomes depend substantially on their length of stay (LOS) in rehabilitation facilities. Studies show wide variations in stay duration that range from 21 to 147 days across countries and neurological conditions.
