Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the health-related quality of life of stroke patients and their caregivers during the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 70 patients who had been diagnosed with stroke between October 2021 and March 2022 and 70 caregivers were included in the present study. A prospective follow-up study assessing the quality of life at baseline was conducted after 3 months for both patients and their caregivers. A linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate potential associations between quality of life and assessed factors. The results revealed that age, sex, employment status, hospitalization period, type of stroke, Barthel index for activities of daily living (ADL) and discharge Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), were significant determinants of the 90-day Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). An important clinical change in the QoL score was estimated for both post-stroke patients and their caregivers. The decrease of the HRQoL of patients was statistically influenced by a higher value of ADL (P=0.014), whereas, in the case of their caregivers, the decrease of HRQoL was primarily influenced by the QoL of patients after 3 months (P=0.043). The present study identified some important key factors with direct consequences on HRQoL regarding stroke survivors and their caregivers.

在一项来自罗马尼亚的单中心研究中,COVID - 19大流行期间卒中患者及其护理人员卒中后三个月的生活质量:一项前瞻性研究。
本研究的目的是确定在第五波COVID-19大流行期间卒中患者及其护理人员的健康相关生活质量。共有70名在2021年10月至2022年3月期间被诊断为中风的患者和70名护理人员被纳入本研究。3个月后,对患者及其护理人员进行了一项评估基线生活质量的前瞻性随访研究。进行线性回归分析以评估生活质量与评估因素之间的潜在关联。结果显示,年龄、性别、就业状况、住院时间、卒中类型、Barthel日常生活活动指数(ADL)和出院修正Rankin量表(mRS)是影响90天健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的重要因素。对卒中后患者及其护理人员的生活质量评分进行了重要的临床变化评估。患者的HRQoL下降受ADL值升高的影响(P=0.014),而护理者的HRQoL下降主要受3个月后患者生活质量的影响(P=0.043)。本研究确定了一些重要的关键因素,对中风幸存者及其护理人员的HRQoL有直接影响。
