Abstract
Background: We aimed to assess impairments on health-related quality of life, and mental health resulting from Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with monocular visual field loss and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) with full or partial hemianopia using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Methods: In a prospective study, consecutive patients with acute RAO on fundoscopy and PCIS on imaging were recruited during their surveillance on a stroke unit over a period of 15 months. Baseline characteristics were determined from medical records and interviews. Health-related quality of life (PROM Information System 10-Question-Short-Form, PROMIS-10), and mental health symptoms (Patient-Health-Questionnaire-4, PHQ-4) were assessed 3 and 12 months after admission postally and via phone.
Results: Ffity-seven patients with RAO and 19 with isolated full or partial hemianopia determined by the NIHSS (median = 2; IQR:0/2) according to PCIS were included. Characteristics of cardiovascular risk factors, and functional status pre-stroke were comparable between the groups. At 3 months, mean ± standard deviation T-scores of PROMIS physical and mental health were 47.1 ± 8.8 and 46.7 ± 8.8 for patients with RAO, and 43.4 ± 9.8 and 43.2 ± 6.2 for PCIS. Compared to 50 ± 10 in the general population, scores after RAO (p = 0.04; p = 0.02) and PCIS (p = 0.01; p < 0.001) were lower in both domains after 3 months. Concerning PCIS, scores in the mental health domain remained decreased at 12 months (p = 0.04). On the PHQ-4, 25% of patients with RAO, and 62% with PCIS scored indicative for anxious and/or depressive syndromes at 3 months.
Conclusions: RAO led only to partial and to less persistent mental impairments than PCIS. This suggests that a different approach involving complex visual and neuropsychological treatment over a longer period of time needs to be considered for post-stroke care of PCIS.
Trial registration information: The trial was submitted at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov, under NCT03795948.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 2016 the European Stroke Journal (ESJ) is the official journal of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO), a professional non-profit organization with over 1,400 individual members, and affiliations to numerous related national and international societies. ESJ covers clinical stroke research from all fields, including clinical trials, epidemiology, primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis, acute and post-acute management, guidelines, translation of experimental findings into clinical practice, rehabilitation, organisation of stroke care, and societal impact. It is open to authors from all relevant medical and health professions. Article types include review articles, original research, protocols, guidelines, editorials and letters to the Editor. Through ESJ, authors and researchers have gained a new platform for the rapid and professional publication of peer reviewed scientific material of the highest standards; publication in ESJ is highly competitive. The journal and its editorial team has developed excellent cooperation with sister organisations such as the World Stroke Organisation and the International Journal of Stroke, and the American Heart Organization/American Stroke Association and the journal Stroke. ESJ is fully peer-reviewed and is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Issues are published 4 times a year (March, June, September and December) and articles are published OnlineFirst prior to issue publication.
