[Clinico-rehabilitative follow-up of a group of aphasic patients treated in the last 10 years].

Reference is made to a clinical and rehabilitative overview of 362 aphasic subjects, namely 221 males (61.05%) and 141 females (38.95%), treated over the last ten years. Of these, 36 males and 23 females (16.29%) had died. Only 19.8% were in a worse condition at follow-up, whereas the condition of the remainder was good and fair in 42% and 38.2% respectively. 79,6% lived with their families following rehabilitation. Where admission to an institution had taken place, this was always the result of socioeconomic conditions rather than clinical and functional problems. Medical management was nearly always a continuing necessity, and nearly all patients were taking drugs. The results are evaluated according to a double criterion with regard to communicative recovery.
