Prevalence of poststroke fatigue and its relationship with clinical characteristics among community-dwelling stroke survivors: A cross-sectional survey
Background and objective
Poststroke fatigue is widely overlooked due to a lack of awareness, definite cause, and cure. It is influenced by cultural variance in psychosocial factors and stroke epidemiology patterns across different countries. To date, the prevalence of poststroke fatigue has not been determined in the Indian setting. Hence our objective was to estimate the prevalence of fatigue among community-living late subacute and chronic stroke survivors. Additionally, we determined the association between poststroke fatigue and participants’ clinical and demographic data.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among first-time stroke survivors following discharge from two tertiary care hospitals. Medical records were screened and included if they met the criteria for age >18 years, able to follow a two-step command with no existing neurological or systemic conditions that would influence fatigue scores. Telephonic consent was obtained, and an interview was conducted to obtain the scores for fatigue, daytime sleepiness, depression, functional mobility, and disability.
Results
A total of 323 participants (mean age: 60.3 ± 12.6 years, mean stroke duration: 8.6 ± 4.4 months) completed the interview. Poststroke fatigue was reported in 11.8 % (n = 38) of the population. Occupational status (χ2 = 5.73), functional mobility (χ2 = 5.84), and disability scores (χ2 = 8.00) were significantly associated (p < 0.05) with fatigue scores. Individuals with disability exhibited five times (OR = 5.00, CI: 1.45–17.23, p = 0.01) higher odds of experiencing fatigue than those without disability.
Conclusion
Our study reported a relatively lower prevalence of fatigue among community-living late subacute and chronic stroke survivors. Implementing strategies to address these contributing factors could effectively ease fatigue in individuals recovering from stroke.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health (CEGH) is a multidisciplinary journal and it is published four times (March, June, September, December) a year. The mandate of CEGH is to promote articles on clinical epidemiology with focus on developing countries in the context of global health. We also accept articles from other countries. It publishes original research work across all disciplines of medicine and allied sciences, related to clinical epidemiology and global health. The journal publishes Original articles, Review articles, Evidence Summaries, Letters to the Editor. All articles published in CEGH are peer-reviewed and published online for immediate access and citation.
