This research aims to identify medium-term factors that influence recovery for patients with Severe Acquired Brain Injuries. It also seeks to develop a continuous system to assess the quality of care provided by rehabilitation units treating these patients. The study focuses on understanding key outcomes important to rehabilitation success. Data will be collected from each participating rehabilitation unit, including information about their structure and organization. Detailed patient data will be gathered upon admission to these units and then re-evaluated four months after their acute brain injury event. Statistical models will be used to predict the likelihood of achieving three key rehabilitation goals removal of tracheostomy tubes, trunk control, and full feeding by mouth. Participants will be adults admitted to these specialized rehabilitation units between July 2021 and December 2023. Patients admitted more than 14 weeks after their acute injury will not be included. Researchers will monitor patients for up to four months post-injury to evaluate the main outcomes. The study will help understand patient progress and care quality in these rehabilitation settings.
