Overview

Cohort study develops equations to predict participation post-stroke, indicating early assessments are valuable.

Key Points

  • The study aims to determine whether early post-stroke assessments can predict community participation at 3 and 6 months after stroke.
  • Prospective cohort study with 251 participants assessed early in hospital and followed up via phone interviews.
  • Measures included prestroke and poststroke factors related to mobility, cognition, and social support.
  • Outcome of participation assessed using the Stroke Impact Scale Participation Subscale.
  • The P-3 equation explained 26% of variance with predictive values of 54% (positive) and 83% (negative).
  • The P-6 equation explained 48% of variance with predictive values of 55% (positive) and 100% (negative).
  • Both equations were developed using accessible measures collected soon after stroke.
