We investigated whether HRQoL between 90 and 180 days following stroke was associated with long-term unmet needs. Method(s): Data from Australian Stroke Clinical Registry (AuSCR) registrants who participated in the Australian Stroke Survivor Needs Survey were used. Outcome data, including the EQ-5D, are routinely collected in AuSCR between 90 and 180 days post-stroke. Unmet needs were assessed at a median of 2 years and categorised into: health; everyday living; work/leisure; and support domains. Multivariable regression was used to determine associations between the EQ-5D dimensions and the likelihood of experiencing unmet needs and the visual analogue scale (VAS) (rating 0-100) and number of reported unmet needs. Result(s): In total, 173 AuSCR registrants completed the Needs Survey (median age 69 years, 67 % male; 77 % ischaemic stroke). VAS scores were negatively associated with the number of reported long-term unmet needs [irr 0.98, (95 % CI 0.97, 0 99) p < 0.001]. Having EQ-5D activity limitations was associated with unmet living needs (aOR 4.5, 95 % CI 1.1, 18.8). Requiring living supports at 90-180 days was associated with unmet health needs (aOR 4.9, 95 % CI 1.5, 16.1). Those with pain at 90-180 days were less likely to report unmet health (aOR 0.09, 95 % CI 0.02, 0.4) and support needs (aOR 0.2, 95 % CI 0.06, 0.6). Conclusion(s): Routinely collected HRQoL data can identify survivors at risk of experiencing long-term unmet needs. This information is important for targeting service delivery to optimise outcomes following stroke.Copyright © 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11136-016-1234-5 | PubMed URL: | 26847339 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=26847339] | ISSN: | 0962-9343 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/39791 | Type: | Article | Subjects: | article brain ischemia/dm [Disease Management] *cerebrovascular accident/dm [Disease Management] female human major clinical study male pain *quality of life quality of life assessment survivor visual analog scale EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire aged priority journal *quality of life quality of life assessment survivor visual analog scale major clinical study human female aged pain priority journal *cerebrovascular accident / *disease management brain ischemia / disease management Article male |
