Objective: To verify the effect of stroke case management on the self-management of risk factors and the rehabilitation of patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS). Method: We conducted a 6-week prospective, non-randomized controlled open-label trial. Patients were screened and allocated to the nurse-led case manager or primary nurses. Risk factors and recovery indicators were measured 4 weeks after the patient was discharged. Results: Patients in the nurse-led case management group were more likely to be aware of risk factors (χ2 = 21.048, P < 0.001) compared with patients undergoing usual care. And had a greater reduction in the proportion of various bad behavior styles (P < 0.001). Patients in the prevention group were more likely to gain better muscle strength of the injured limb (upper limb t = 4.048, P < 0.001); lower limb t = 83.279, P < 0.001) than those in the control group. Overall mean (SD) of modified BI index score for the intervention group compared with control group hospitals was 96.05 vs 76.84. (P < 0.001). The rates of modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score ≤ 2 were 68.9% in the intervention group and 35.1% in the control group (χ2 = 12.682, P < 0.001). Conclusion: A nurse-led case-management for patients with AIS is feasible and may help improve long-term control of significant patient risk factors for stroke.
