Abstract
ObjectiveTo describe the sociodemographic data, clinical and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) profile according to the ECVI-38 scale and its relation to the different sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Material and methodA descriptive, observational study was conducted. Participants: Patients who had suffered stroke in the last year, had been admitted to a Neurological Rehabilitation Unit and had fulfilled some inclusion criteria. Measurements: Sociodemographic, clinical variables were gathered as well as the Charlson comorbidity scale, grade of functional dependence using the modified Rankin and Barthel index. Treatments performed were fibrinolysis, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychiatric evaluation. The CVRS was measured through the ECVI-38 survey. ResultsA total of 95 surveys (72 from the University Miguel Servet Hospital and 23 from San Juan de Dios Hospital) were collected from 60 men and 35 women. Average age was 64.33 years (age range: 24-90 years). Common activities of the daily living (CADL), basic activities of the daily living (BADL), sociofamilial functions (SF) and physical condition (PC) were the four dimensions that were most affected in the study patients, with statistically significant results. ConclusionsThe stroke patients in our study observed a mild affectation in their quality of life (ECVI-38-Total: 35.59%). Age, functional status and grade of dependence are the parameters that are best related to quality of life.
