Predictive Factors for Return to Work After a First Stroke Treated at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital in Puy de Dôme Between January 2020 and December 2024
University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand · NCT07264387
We will try to find which medical, job, and personal factors predict whether people under age 64 who had a first stroke at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital between 2020 and 2024 return to work.

What this trial studies
This is a retrospective observational review of patients of working age treated for a first ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital between January 2020 and 2024. Investigators will extract clinical, functional, cognitive, occupational, and psychosocial data from medical records and post-stroke consultations and link these variables to documented return-to-work outcomes. Statistical models, including multivariable analyses, will be used to identify which quantitative and qualitative factors (for example severity, functional independence, self-efficacy, and employer relationships) are associated with returning to work. Results aim to fill gaps in vocational reintegration knowledge and help guide targeted support for stroke survivors.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people under 64 who had a first ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, had an employment contract at the time of their stroke, were treated at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital, and have post-stroke follow-up recorded in their medical file.
Not a fit: Patients with prior strokes, pre-existing disabling head trauma, those who died from their stroke, or those without an employment contract at the time of stroke are unlikely to benefit from the study's findings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians and vocational services identify patients most likely to return to work and tailor interventions to improve reintegration.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that factors like stroke severity, functional independence, and age predict return to work, but qualitative factors such as self-efficacy and employer relationships remain less well documented.
