Challenges in conducting an explorative, descriptive, longitudinal study, including nine specialized rehabilitation centers in seven countries
Prospective, descriptive international multicenter studies are complex but provide important data that may be generalized to a higher degree on specific themes like, in our case, specialized rehabilitation of stroke patients. However, there are many considerations in the process of collaboration, collecting data, and long-term follow-up. This case study provides some insight into the complexity and practicalities of performing a longitudinal descriptive study in an international multicenter study.
