Evaluation of quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke after 3 months of treatment at People’s Hospital 115
Tóm tắt
The prospective research was conducted from March 2023 to September 2023 at People’s Hospital 115 (Ho Chi Minh City) on patients diagnosed and treated for acute ischemic stroke according to the treatment regimen of the Ministry of Health. Quality of life is assessed through the EQ-5D-5L scale, including 5 different aspects: mobility, self-care, normal activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Research results show that the quality of life of patients with ischemic stroke has significantly improved in all aspects from the point of discharge from the hospital to after 3 months. The proportion of patients without problems with mobility, self-care and normal activities increased from about 35 - 45% to about 80%. The proportion of patients who has no anxiety/depression also increased from 42.6% to 82.0%. These results are statistically significant (p < 0.001), reflecting the effectiveness of the treatment and rehabilitation process. In addition, the EQ-index improved from 0.671 to 0.894 and the VAS score increased from 63.24 to 81.9, while the mRS index decreased from 3 to 2, indicating a reduction in disability and an increase in independence of patient’s condition after treatment.
