Patient-Reported Outcomes Predict Future Emergency Department Visits and Hospital Admissions in Patients With Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Background Identification of stroke patients at increased risk of emergency department (ED) visits or hospital admissions allows implementation of mitigation strategies. We evaluated the ability of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Information Measurement System (PROMIS) patient-reported outcomes (PROs) collected as part of routine care to predict 1-year emergency department (ED) visits and admissions when added to other readily available clinical variables. Methods and Results This was a cohort study of 1696 patients with ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or transient ischemic attack seen in a cerebrovascular clinic from February 17, 2015, to June 11, 2018, who completed the following PROs at the visit: Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Quality of Life in Neuro
