Efficacy and Safety of Early Supported Discharge for Post-Acute Stroke Patients in Korea (KOMPACT)

August 29, 2022 updated by: Nam-Jong Paik, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

A Pragmatic Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study on Early Supported Discharge: KOrean Model of Post-Acute Comprehensive rehabiliTation(KOMPACT)

The study aims to examine the effect of early supported discharge (ESD) service on the functional outcomes and quality of life of acute stroke patients with mild to moderate disability in Korea.

The study is a double-armed prospective multi-centered, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of ESD program with conventional rehabilitation program.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Early Supported Discharge (ESD) is a form of medical service applicable to acute stroke patients with mild to moderate disabilities. ESD service was developed to facilitate patient to their daily livings at home, reduce the length of stay in the hospital with possibly better or equivalent outcomes for patients and caregivers.

ESD service has been proven to be non-inferior in the functional and quality of life measures as well as cost-effective, compared to the conventional rehabilitation service in many countries, however the effectiveness of ESD service may differ among countries and medical, economical circumstances. This study aims to examine the effect of ESD service on the acute stroke patients with mild to moderate disabilities in Korea and demonstrate its feasibility as an alternative medical service option to those patients.

  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Early Supported Discharge (ESD) Group
Patients in the ESD group will be discharged to home as soon as the acute medical treatment is finished. The patients will follow a pre-planned ESD program which consists of home-based rehabilitation (at least 30 minutes of physical therapy and 30 minutes of occupational therapy per week) offered by therapists. The ESD team will also provide social/medical services as needed. The ESD program will be provided till 1 months after discharge point.
Treatment by Physiotherapist and occupational therapist at least 30 minutes each, per week provided at home.
Active Comparator: Conventional Rehabilitation (CR) Group
The patients in CR group will be provided with inpatient rehabilitation after the acute medical treatment is finished. The length of inpatient rehabilitation may depend on the hospital's current program. Patients will be provided with outpatient based rehabilitation program if needed after discharge.
Treatment will be provided according to current hospital's stroke rehabilitation program.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
changes in Korean modified Barthel Index (K-MBI)
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset, changes from baseline
K-MBI is an ordinal scale used to measure performance in activities of daily living(ADL). score ranges from 0 to 100, higher score meaning better ADL function.
Baseline, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset, changes from baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset
mRS is a scale used for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people with stroke. Scale ranges from 0-6, with 0 meaning no symptoms and 6 meaning dead.
Baseline, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset
Korean Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (K-IADL)
Time Frame: 1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset
K-IADL assesses a person's ability to perform tasks such as using a telephone, doing laundry, and handling finances. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, higher score meaning better IADL function.
1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset
Korean Reintegration to Normal Life Index (K-RNLI)
Time Frame: 1 month after discharge, 3 months after onset
K-RNLI assesses the degree of individuals who have experienced stroke achieve reintegration into normal social activities. The scale ranges from 0-100 with higher score meaning better reintegration to normal life.
