Abstract

BACKGROUND:

To advance rehabilitation we need a comprehensive understanding of functioning and disability of people after stroke.

OBJECTIVE:

To present an overview of the methodology of the Life After Stroke In Northern Sweden Study, compare participants and non-participants regarding gender and age, and describe baseline sociodemographics, stroke characteristics and the participants’ self-rated degree of recovery.

METHODS:

Data were collected through a study specific questionnaire, from the participants’ medical records and with internationally established self-assessment tools focusing on sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, fatigue, physical activity, and remaining physical and cognitive impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions and life satisfaction.

RESULTS:

Of 301 potential participants, 160 comprise the final sample (response rate 53% ; 86 men and 74 women, mean age 73 years±26, mean time since stroke onset 35 months±11; 18– 61). Most participants had an ischemic stroke (87%), were retired (84%), cohabitant (63%) and walked independently (71%). The mean self-rated degree of recovery was 75 (SD±24; 0– 100).

CONCLUSIONS:

These baseline data together with forthcoming studies will describe stroke-related impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions and life satisfaction more than one year after stroke, and deepen our understanding of factors of importance for a healthy and successful life after stroke.

瑞典北部中风后生活研究（LASINS）：研究方法、队列人口统计和初步结果

摘要背景：为了促进康复，我们需要全面了解中风后患者的功能和残疾情况。目的：概述瑞典北部中风后生活研究（Life After Stroke In Northern Sweden Study）的方法，比较参与者和非参与者的性别和年龄，并描述基线社会人口统计、中风特征和参与者的自评康复程度。结果：在 301 位潜在参与者中，有 160 位构成了最终样本（回复率为 53%；男性 86 人，女性 74 人；平均年龄为 73 岁（±26）岁；平均卒中发病时间为 35 个月（±11）个月；18- 61 岁）。大多数参与者患有缺血性中风（87%），退休（84%），同居（63%），独立行走（71%）。结论：这些基线数据和即将开展的研究将描述中风一年多后与中风相关的损伤、活动限制、参与限制和生活满意度，并加深我们对中风后健康和成功生活重要因素的理解。

期刊介绍： NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
