| Popis: | Neurological diseases are characterized by the complexity of care and by a constant and changing disability. More and more frequently, their impact on the clinical pathway remains unknown. Seven postgraduate rehabilitation students (Master coordination du handicap, universite Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, Paris) reconstructed the clinical pathway of 123 patients with various neurological diseases: multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal trauma, Parkinson disease and brain tumors. There was a significant correlation between disease duration and the number of specialists involved in care, the number of prescribed drugs and the number of short-term hospitalizations; there was no correlation with age. This result suggests that with time an increasing number of complications related to the initial neurological disease developed. Hospitalization in rehabilitation units was highly correlated with the degree of disability and also with the help received by the patients during the course of their disease. This result suggests that these hospitalizations were a direct consequence of burn out among relatives. General practitioners (GP) were highly involved only during the initial part of the pathway, and their involvement rapidly declined thereafter, suggesting a probable relation with the specificities and the complexity of care for neurological diseases which induces a progressive transfer of responsibilities from the GP to the hospital. Social care was always incomplete and occurred too late during the course of the disease. The feeling by the patients that their care pathway was chaotic was highly correlated with the quality of the information given to the patient at the time of the announcement of their disease. This study confirms that cares for neurological diseases is highly specific and that expert centers and coordination networks are in a key position to ensure an efficient care pathway. |
