Self-rated health over the first five years after stroke.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Self-rated health (SRH) focuses on the patient's own perception, and represents an important patient-reported outcome. The aim was to investigate SRH one to 5 years after stroke, follow the development over time and search for factors associated with SRH. METHODS:Consecutive stroke patients admitted to Stroke Units at the Skaraborg Hospital, Sweden were included 2007-2009 (n =?2190). Patient-reported outcomes were collected annually over 5 years using a postal questionnaire. SRH was assessed by the question about general health from SF-36. Factors associated with SRH were investigated by multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:Response-rate was >?90% at all time points. Overall, 40.2, 41.9, 40.7, 45.0 and 46.3% of the patients reported good SRH, 1 to 5 years after stroke. Performance in activities of daily living (ADL) was strongly associated with good SRH; 49.8 and 14.7% after 1 year in independent and dependent survivors respectively, p
