Objective: This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between metacognition and mood symptoms four years post-stroke and examined fatigue as a potential moderator for this relationship.
Methods: A number of 143 participants completed a survey that included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (functional status) four years after stroke. Multiple regression analyses adjusting for demographic and stroke-specific covariates were performed with anxiety and depression as dependent variables and fatigue as a moderator.
Objective: To explore trajectories that describe change in post-stroke health-related quality of life with fatigue as outcome.
Design: Observational and prospective study.
Subjects: Stroke survivors (N = 144) with predominantly mild or moderate strokes.
Objective: Post-stroke fatigue may be associated with functioning even in patients with mild stroke. In order to guide rehabilitation, the aim of this study was to investigate the independent contribution of 12 function-related domains to severe long-term fatigue.
Design: Observational follow-up study.
Objectives: To examine patient-reported needs for care and rehabilitation in a cohort following different subacute pathways of rehabilitation, and to explore factors underpinning met and unmet needs.
Design: Observational multicentre cohort study.
Patients And Methods: A total of 318 Norwegian and 155 Danish patients with first-ever stroke were included.
Objectives: To investigate changes in health-related quality of life between 3- and 12-months post-stroke in a north Norwegian and a Danish region that organize their rehabilitation services differently, and to identify clinically relevant predictors of change.
Design: Prospective multicentre cohort study.
Subjects: In total, 304 patients with first-ever stroke (male sex 59%, mean age 68.
Purpose: To compare stroke-specific health related quality of life in two country-regions with organisational differences in subacute rehabilitation services, and to reveal whether organisational factors or individual factors impact outcome.
Materials And Methods: A prospective multicentre study with one-year follow-up of 369 first-ever stroke survivors with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, recruited from stroke units in North Norway ( = 208) and Central Denmark ( = 161). The 12-domain Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale was the primary outcome-measure.
Background: Brief measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) that assess both patient-reported functioning and well-being after stroke are scarce. The objective of this study was to examine reliability and validity of one of these measures, the patient-reported Quality of Life after Brain Injury-Overall Scale (QOLIBRI-OS), in patients after stroke.
Methods: Stroke survivors were examined prospectively using survey methods.
Background: There is a paucity of stroke-specific instruments to assess health-related quality of life in the Norwegian language. The objective was to examine the validity and reliability of a Norwegian version of the 12-domain Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale.
Methods: A total of 125 stroke survivors were prospectively recruited.
