Objective: The influence of disability-perception on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains unclear. This study investigated impact of disability and disability-perception on HRQoL of stroke survivors and explores the moderating effect of disability-severity.
Methods: Post-stroke disability, disability-perception/acceptance and HRQoL were assessed in 102 stroke survivors using the World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule, Attitudes towards Disabled Persons Form-A and Short Form-36, respectively.
Introduction: This study assessed vestibular disorders in elderly patients, describing the causes, clinical characteristics, therapies and treatment outcomes.
Methods: Five-year hospital-based prospective study, conducted at the ENT clinic of a tertiary referral center. Subjects were consecutive elderly patients with dizziness, treated and followed-up for a minimum of six months.
Background And Purpose: CT scanning is important to identify stroke pathology and exclude mimics. Its poor availability in our environment makes the search for simple, reliable clinical-score imperative. This study aims to validate the Siriraj Stroke score (SSS) and determine the discriminant values of its parameters in the black population of African-Nigerians.
