ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Poststroke health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important outcome that may be influenced by ethnicity. OBJECTIVE: To compare long-term HRQOL, mental health and healthcare utilization between stroke survivors with a European (EUB) and non-European background (NEUB) in a hospital population. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study patients completed questionnaires 2-5 years after stroke. Assessments included the EuroQol-5D-3L (EQ-5D), Short Form (SF-36, with physical and mental component summary scales, PCS and MCS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS; scores ≥8 indicate clinically relevant complaints) and a questionnaire on the usage of services from physicians and/or healthcare professionals (HCP) in the past 6 months. Linear and logistic regression analysis was used, adjusted for age, sex, level of education and functional outcome. RESULTS: We included 207 patients (169 EUB, 38 NEUB); mean age 63.8 years (SD 14.4); 60.4 % male; mean follow up 36.3 months (SD 9.9). The EQ-5D and the PCS were higher in EUB versus NEUB patients (42.9 vs 35.4, p < 0.01; 0.76 vs 0.60, p < 0.01). The MCS showed a comparable, non-significant trend. The percentage of patients with HADS depression ≥8 was higher in NEUB patients versus EUB patients (54.3 % vs 29.8 %; p > 0.01). Significantly more NEUB patients had visited two or more physicians in the past six months compared to EUB patients (52.0 % vs 26.0 %; p = 0.01) whereas the use of services from HCP was similar. CONCLUSIONS: NEUB stroke patients had worse outcomes regarding HRQOL and depressive symptoms compared to EUB patients. NEUB patients visited more physicians.
