UNASSIGNED: Background. The relevance of speech-language-hearing therapy (ST) duration to @entity73 remains unclear. Objective. To determine the effect of ST duration on improvement in @entity73 as a @entity64 sequela and to compare the findings with those for occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT). Methods. Data regarding @entity1 with @entity64 sequelae who were registered in the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine database were analyzed. Propensity scores for ST, OT, and PT duration were calculated using logistic regression, followed by inverse probability weighting in generalized estimating equations to examine the odds ratio for improvement in the Functional Independence Measures scores for comprehension, expression, and memory. Analyses stratified by age and @entity303 severity were also conducted. Results. Compared with short-duration ST, long-duration ST was significantly associated with improved scores for comprehension and expression in the overall study population and in some groups, with higher benefit especially for younger @entity1 (<64 years) and those with more severe @entity303 . A significant but less pronounced effect was also observed for OT and PT. Conclusion. Long-duration ST is more effective than long-duration OT or PT for improving @entity73 occurring as @entity64 sequela. However, these effects are limited by age and severity of @entity303 .
