Long-Term Functional Recovery After First Ischemic Stroke

Abstract: Background and Purpose-Several factors predict functional status after stroke, but most studies have included hospitalized patients with limited follow-up. We hypothesized that patients with ischemic stroke experience functional decline over 5 years independent of recurrent stroke and other risk factors. Methods-In the population-based Northern Manhattan Study, patients Ն40 years of age with incident ischemic stroke were prospectively followed using the Barthel Index at 6 months and annually to 5 years.

“…Similar to our study, age, 1,4 mood or depression, 2 stroke severity, 5,6 urinary incontinence, 37 side of stroke, 38 and DM 1 were also predictors of QOL in previous studies. Decline in QOL was most prominent in the domains of activity, daily living, and support, which is consistent with prior findings in this population, 8 and suggests that decline in QOL may be associated with decline in functional and occupational status. The interaction between time and insurance status in the domain of outlook suggests that limited access to care may have an impact on one's sense of control in matters of health.…”

“…Our prior research provided evidence that disability increased over time after stroke independently of recurrence. 8 We hypothesized that ischemic stroke patients would similarly experience decline in QOL over 5 years independent of recurrent stroke and other risk factors. Since validated stroke-specific QOL scales were not available at the time of the design of this study, we used a validated generic QOL scale, the Spitzer QLI, 9 which has been used extensively in prior research in various diseases.…”

“…Various studies have concluded that it is predictive of stroke outcomes. [16][17][18] One study demonstrated that severity of stroke assessed by NIHSS at admission to be predictive of 3 month mortality and another study established it as an independent predictor of 30 days mortality.…”

“…Outro fator pessoal que pode ser considerado é o tempo de evolução após o AVE 8 . Ainda não foi reportado na literatura a existência de associação dessa variável com restrição na participação social, no entanto, estudo prévio demonstrou declínio funcional em indivíduos pós-AVE com o passar dos anos, sendo esse declínio independente de fatores como idade, gravidade e recorrência do AVE 9 . A caracterização da participação social após o AVE pode demonstrar o grau de envolvimento dos indivíduos nas situações de vida cotidiana.…”
