ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Structured application of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is a key element in Value Based Healthcare. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a broad set of PROMs reflecting similar patient reported health domains as proposed within the International Standard Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures After Stroke within the first year after stroke. METHODS: The study included consecutive stroke patients admitted to inpatient or outpatient specialized rehabilitation. PROMs were administered upon admission, discharge (inpatients only), and at 3, 6, and 12 months. PROMs included: EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale (SAQOL-39NL), Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation (USER-P), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Feasibility was defined as participation, retention, and response rates. Paired t tests were conducted to analyze their changes over time. RESULTS: Of 485 inpatients and 189 outpatients who were invited, 291 (60.0%) and 82 (43.3%) participated, of whom 45 (15.5%) and 7 (8.5%) dropped out before 12 months, respectively. Two hundred seven (71.1%) and 71 (86.6%) of the inpatients and outpatients returned the questionnaires on all or all but one time points, respectively. Between admission and 12 months statistically significant improvements of PROMs addressing general health and quality of life (EQ-5D), psychiatric functioning (HADS), motor functioning (SIS mobility), and social functioning (USER-P, SIS communication) were seen. The SIS memory scale, the SAQOL-39NL and the FSS did not show any changes. CONCLUSIONS: Participation, retention, and response rates for a comprehensive set of PROMS for stroke in patients in rehabilitation were moderate to good, with clinical improvements seen until 1 year post stroke. The SAQOL-39NL and FSS did not demonstrate changes over time and cannot be recommended for repetitive measurements in this setting. By simplifying the set of questionnaires, participation and response rates may be further enhanced.
