Oh god, what stupid laziness. There is not a survivor in the world that gives a shit about predictions. They want EXACT stroke protocols that deliver 100% recovery. WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU DELIVER THAT?
Predictors of quality of life 1 year after minor stroke or TIA: A prospective single-centre cohort study
BMJ Open — Lam KH, et al. | November 06, 2019
In this prospective observational
cohort study conducted at a single-center hospital in the Netherlands
and involving 120 individuals with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or
minor stroke who were discharged without rehabilitation treatment,
researchers determined possible predictors of quality of life (QoL) in
patients with TIA or minor stroke 1 year poststroke to identify which of
these patients would require aftercare. Depression and anxiety at
baseline predicted a worse mental component of QoL following 1 year. In
addition, depression at baseline—along with age and female sex—predicted
a worse physical component of QoL after 1 year. The authors concluded
that identification of these predictors might enable more efficient and
timely selection of patients with TIA or minor stroke who will require
stroke aftercare.(Your tyranny of low expectations on full display here. If stroke is too difficult for you to solve please get out and let better people solve it.)
