Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Quality of life one year after stroke will be established by means of the total
RAND-36 score. Furtermore, it will be checked if the improvement or
deterioration of the quality of life can be declared on the basis of the
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and mRS score, which have been determined
one year post-stroke or TIA by using a multiple lineair regression analysis
(α=0.05). Finally, the predictors of quality of life one year post-stroke will
be determined by also using a multiple lineair regression analysis (α=0.05).

Background summary
In the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis (OLVG) approximately 500 patients visited the
hospital or were hospitalized between April 2013 and February 2016 due to a
cerebrovascular accident (CVA). When the symptoms (loss of body functions)
disappear within 24 hours or within a few days, the patient suffered a TIA or a
minor stroke. After a while, however, most patients experience or develop
physical limitations, and cognitive or emotional impairments. This is the
reason why the OLVG arrange in collaboration with the Beroerte Advies Centrum
(BAC) [translation: Stroke Advice Centre] a follow-up meeting. It is important
to determine the quality of life of patients who suffered a stroke one year
ago, because quality of life is an important aspect of life after suffering a
stroke. More insight into the quality of patients one year post-stroke can help
to optimise life following stroke. It is also important to define the
predictors of quality of life one year post-stroke, because rehabilitation can
focus on these predictors resulting into an improved QoL of patients after
stroke.
Study objective
The first aim of this study is to determine the QoL of patients one year
post-stroke. The second aim of this study is to define the predictors of the
QoL one year post-stroke
Study design
Patients will be asked to fill out 4 questionnaires:
1. RAND-36
2. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) with a few disease-specific
questions added to the questionnaire.
3. Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System-10 (PROMIS-10)
4. Additional information questionnaire
Besides, a certified researcher will determine the modified Rankin Scale score
of the patients.
Study burden and risks
The burden and risks associated with participation are very slight. The patient
will spent in total 55 minutes to complete the questionnaires and to determine
the modified Rankin Scale score.
