PMID 33527144WHAT IT FOUND
No patient outcomes are reported, so this policy update cannot be used as evidence that Ukraine's rehabilitation services improved function.
What this paper is
This is a policy report about Ukraine's national disability, health and rehabilitation plan. It describes legal, training, and service changes, but it does not report methods, participants, or patient outcomes, so there is no clinical finding to act on.
Declared interests

The easy way to misread this
Do not read the workforce and service changes as proof that patients improved.
