Stroke Patients Fare Better with Focused Treatment

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, stroke patients fare better with focused treatment. If a stroke has left you disabled, then you could qualify to receive Social Security disability benefits.

Improvement in physical functioning and reduced chance of dying are better when treatment after a stroke is focused on swallowing difficulties, fever, and high blood sugar levels.

After a stroke, 37% to 78% of patients will have problems with swallowing. About 20% to 50% develop a fever and up to half of the patients will have increased blood sugar levels. So by focusing treatment on these complications, the outcome can be much better.

The key is to treat these conditions early on, within the first few days of a patient suffering a stroke. One author of this study indicated that these complications are not always well managed.

While many recover from a stroke, some end up with severe complications that make it impossible to go back to work. If you become disabled from work due to a disability, then you should seek legal counsel. A Georgia Social Security disability lawyer can help by evaluating your case and determining if you qualify for disability benefits.
