“…The single index score (15D score), representing the overall HRQoL on a 0-1 scale (1 = full health, 0 = being dead) and the dimension level values, reflecting the goodness of the levels relative to no problems on the dimension ( = 1) and to being dead ( = 0), are calculated from the health state descriptive system using a set of population-based preference or utility weights. In terms of its major properties (reliability, validity, discriminatory power, and responsiveness to change), the 15D compares at least equally with other preference-based generic instruments [11][12][13][14][15]. The 15D has been applied in numerous different patient groups and diseases (http://www.15d-instrument.…”

Surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but it is unclear whether the effects are sustained after medium-term (>2 years) follow-up, and whether the results on some or all dimensions of HRQoL will reach that of the general population. We performed a follow-up of HRQoL on average 3.3 years after surgery for PHPT using the 15D in our patient cohort (n=124) and compared the results to those of an age- and gender-standardized general population (n=1099). We studied self-reported blood pressure and current medications; new comorbidities were retrieved from electronic patient records. A total of 104 (83%) patients [eight with serum calcium (1.34-1.46 mmol/l)] returned the questionnaires. After a follow-up of 3.3 years (range 23 to 55 months), systolic and diastolic blood pressure had decreased significantly compared to baseline (the situation before surgery, p<0.001). Thirty-four (33%) had acquired a new diagnosis (range 1-7), the most common being cardiovascular disease and cancer. Mean 15D score was significantly better compared to baseline (p<0.001), the dimensions of sleeping, mental function, discomfort and symptoms, and depression had further improved (p<0.01), and no longer differed from that of the general population. In PHPT, after >2 years follow-up, surgery improves blood pressure and restores neurocognitive function and sleep to the level of the general population. The improvements observed in overall HRQoL at one year after surgery are sustained, but overall HRQoL does not reach that of the general population.

“…The SIS is a self-reported questionnaire, used to evaluate how the stroke has affected the patient's health and life (24,25). The SIS consist of questions with 5 nominal categories in 8 domains: strength, hand function, ADL and mobility, communication, emotion, memory/thinking, and participation, with a total of 59 questions.…”

“…Twenty-one out of the 30 in the reperfusion-treated group had a VAS-score ≥ 70. having issues with dependency in ADL (Barthel Index) and/or suggested cognitive impairment (MoCA) ( Table III). Ten participants (62.5%) had a MoCA score of 26 or above and were deemed to not have any cognitive impairment, while the remaining 6 participants were assessed as having a cognitive impairment (MoCA score [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Approximately 56% were independent in ADL, with a Barthel Index score of 100.…”

“…It is the participation level domain of the ICF model. It has high reliability (Cronbach's α = 0:89) and moderate validity (Spearman's rho = 0:50~0:73) to assess the functional effect of stroke [30]. Patients' ability to use their paretic hands were assessed using the five items "carry heavy objects," "turn a doorknob," "open a can or jar," "tie a shoelace," and "pick up a dime" in the hand function domain of the SIS.…”

Objectives. Spontaneous arm use in patients with poststroke hemiparesis is crucial to the recovery of functional interaction. Patients with stroke and subsequent right hemiparesis have more difficulty adapting to a right-handed environment. The aim of this study was to use wearable devices to assess the asymmetry and difference in the amount of activity of the nondominant and dominant affected hands among patients with stroke and right hemiparesis. The real activity of both hands was measured to assess the correlation with various aspects of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Subjects and Methods. Patients with stroke and right hemiparesis were recruited. They were divided into two groups according to the affected hand. Groups A and B comprised patients with affected nondominant and dominant hands, respectively. The Fugl-Meyer assessment-Upper Extremity (FM-UE) scores, Motor Activity Log (MAL), and hand function domain scores on the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) were used for assessment. Patients were asked to wear smart wearable devices on both hands 24 hours a day for a month. The amount of activity in both hands was recorded and analyzed. Results. A total of 29 patients with stroke were divided into group A (n=14) and group B (n=15). FM-UE scores were significantly and strongly correlated with the amount of use (AOU) in the MAL. The recorded differential real activity of both hands in group B was significantly lower than that in group A. The asymmetry index of hand use was significantly less favorable in group B. However, no significant differences in AOU in the MAL, FM-UE, and hand function domain in the SIS were identified between the nondominant and dominant affected hands. Conclusions. The asymmetry and differential activity of both hands were worse in the patients with poststroke right hemiparesis, whose dominant hand was affected. However, no differences of three aspects of the ICF were found between dominant and nondominant affected hands.
