Cognitive dysfunction predicts worse health-related quality of life for older stroke survivors: A nationwide population-based survey in Taiwan
Aging and Mental Health — Kuo LM, et al. | April 18, 2019
Researchers analyzed a subsample of
592 older stroke survivors in a nationwide population-based survey of
cognitive-dysfunction prevalence to examine how cognitive status is
correlated with specific/overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
in these patients in Taiwan. Findings suggest a strong predictive value
of dementia and mild cognitive dysfunction for worse overall and
specific HRQoL dimensions, especially self-care and usual activities for
older stroke survivors. Compared to stroke survivors with normal
cognitive function, those with dementia were 5.60 times more likely to
have mobility problems, 12.20 times to have self-care problems, 16.61
times to have problems in usual activities, 4.31 times to have
pain/discomfort, and 3.28 times to have anxiety/depression; those with
mild cognitive dysfunction (MCD) were 2.57 times more likely to have
mobility problems, 3.17 times to have self-care problems, 3.31 times to
have problems in usual activities, 2.11 times to have pain/discomfort,
and 2.35 times to have anxiety/depression.
