Disentangling the Association Between Neurologic Deficits, Patient-Reported Impairments, and Quality of Life After Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The EuroQol Group 5-Dimension Self-Reported Questionnaire (EQ-5D) is a well-established instrument to assess quality of life and generates generic utility values for health states reported by patients, derived from assessments by the general public. We hypothesized that language problems and other nonmotor deficits are not captured as well as motor deficits by this system. We aimed to quantify the association between disabling neurologic deficits and the EQ-5D dimension scores and the utility score in patients with ischemic stroke.

Methods

We used data of the Interventional Management of Stroke III trial. Missing data were imputed by multiple imputation. The association between neurologic deficits (individual NIH Stroke Scale [NIHSS] item scores) an
