Changes in functional outcome over five years after stroke

Abstract: Objectives Data on the long‐term time course of poststroke functional outcome is limited. We investigated changes in functional outcome over 5 years after stroke in a hospital based cohort. Materials and Methods Consecutive patients who were independent in activities of daily living (ADL) and admitted to a Stroke Unit at Skaraborg Hospital, Sweden for a first acute stroke from 2007 to 2009 ( n = 1,421) were followed‐up after 3 months and there… Show more

“…Data were obtained from two quality registers assessing stroke care; the Swedish Stroke Register [ 15 ], the Skaraborg Longitudinal Stroke Register (SLAG) and the Swedish population registry. The SLAG register has been described in detail elsewhere [ 16 ]. In short, SLAG is a local register complementing the Swedish Stroke Register containing data from a postal questionnaire distributed annually over 5 years to all surviving stroke patients admitted to the Stroke Units at the Skaraborg Hospitals from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2009.…”

“…Globally stroke led to 116.4 million disability adjusted life years (DALYs) in the year 2016 [1]. The risk for disability after a first stroke in Europe is estimated to be 20% [12] whereas for Tanzania, post stroke severe disability was 56% and 49% for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke respectively [11]. Prompt and effective management of hypertension, diabetes and thrombosis reduce the risk of stroke recurrence while rehabilitation reduces disability [13].…”

“…The persistent side effects caused by stroke lead to relevant limitations in activities, generating a reduced perception of well-being in affected individuals [2,4]. A significant proportion of survivors persist with moderate or severe disability [5,6], which interferes in their return to activities and previous lifestyles, thereby hindering the social integration of these individuals within their communities [2,7]. Studies indicate that affected individuals suffer social isolation, restricted social participation and difficulties in reintegration [8,9].…”
