Abstract
Aim. To develop a software application for determining the rehabilitation potential and predicting the efficacy of rehabilitation treatment in elderly and senile patients with stage III discirculatory encephalopathy (DE).
Methods. A database of 185 patients with stage III DE was used. The indicators were assessed in dynamics, i.e., prior to the rehabilitation treatment and following three and six months from the onset of treatment course. The software application was developed using the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language built into Microsoft Excel 2010.
Results. The developed application comprises several first-order subroutines to assess the patient’s neurological status, memory, attention, functional activity in everyday life, as well as second-order subroutines to calculate the rehabilitation potential and predict the treatment efficacy. At the first stage, personal data and characteristics of neurological disorders, cognitive functions, scale of instrumental activities in daily living (IADL) are entered. At the second stage, the indicator of rehabilitation potential is automatically calculated and its qualitative assessment is provided. On the basis of prediction of the efficacy of the three complexes, further rehabilitation tactics for a particular patient is determined.
Conclusions. The developed software application is useful for automating and optimizing the work of rehabilitation neurologists.
