Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To test whether the surprise question is an appropriate measurement to predict the prognosis of neurorehabilitation patients. This will be checked by a telephone follow up after 12 months (are patients still alive or not?).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Are there any differences in the assessment of the surprise question between a neurorehabilitation physician and a palliative care physician not trained in neurorehabilitation? Which are the characteristics of neurorehabilitation patients who are still alive after one year or who have already died after one year, respectively? Was the care organized by the neurorehabilitation team for the time after patients’ hospital discharge appropriate, or not? A telephone follow-up (after 6, 12 months respectively) is planned to observe how far the assessment comes true and how patients’ health and living condition will develop.
