Well this was totally useless. Nothing of how well their recovery went based upon the rehab they were given, that will determine your health status. You are not even measuring the right things. Who the fuck approved this crapola?
Determinants of health status after stroke: A cohort study with repeated measurements
Researchers used a large population-based cohort of first time Danish stroke patients to determine the course as well as the determinants of the course of physical and mental health status post-stroke with repeated measurements. They assessed 2,414 first time stroke patients who were admitted to any hospital in the Central Denmark Region, Denmark, between October 1, 2008 and January 1, 2012 with five questionnaires over 2 years. No comorbidity, older age, male gender, and mild stroke severity were identified as variables related to increasing self-rated mental health, while mild stroke severity, no comorbidity, higher educational level, and younger age were reported as the variables related to increasing ratings of physical health. Findings demonstrated a slight improvement over time in the majority of SF-12 sub-scales and the mental component score in a large, geographically well-defined population of first time stroke patients. The first 2 years post-stroke may reveal small improvements in self-rated mental health. Among sub-groups, disparity in level as well as course exist, and treatment of comorbidity may represent an essential target with respect to rehabilitation.
