Mediating effect of post-stroke depression between activities of daily living and health-related quality of life: meta-analytic structural equation modeling
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that both decreased ADL and PSD may reduce HRQoL, while a decrease in ADL tends to cause depression after stroke. Therefore, ADL and PSD reductions should be improved to achieve better HRQoL of stroke survivors. Future studies should continue to discuss other factors affecting HRQoL to achieve optimal recovery in stroke survivors.

Establishing severity levels for patient-reported measures of functional communication, participation, and perceived cognitive function for adults with acquired cognitive and language disorders
ConclusionStandardized, stakeholder-informed severity levels that aid interpretation of PROM scores can help clinicians and researchers derive better clinical meaning from those scores, for example, by identifying important clinical windows of opportunity and assessing when symptoms have returned to a “normal” range.

Measurement properties and interpretability of the PROMIS item banks in stroke patients: a systematic review
ConclusionThe PROMIS Global Health showed sufficient structural and construct validity and internal consistency in stroke patients. There is a need for further research on content validity, structural validity, and measurement invariance of PROMIS measures in stroke patients.Trial Registration Information: CRD42020203044 (PROSPERO).

Associations between suicidal ideation and health-related quality of life among community-dwelling stroke survivors: 2013 –2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
ConclusionIndividuals with stroke showed higher rates for problems on the EQ-5D, SI, and depression compared to the general population. They also demonstrated significant associations between SI and each EQ-5D dimension except physical activity, especially pain/discomfort and depression/anxiety. The study ’s findings can be referred to when predicting suicide risk in individuals with stroke by analyzing their EQ-5D scores.

Self-reported quality of life following stroke: a systematic review of instruments with a focus on their psychometric properties
ConclusionsThis systematic evaluation of the psychometric properties of self-reported quality-of-life instruments used with adults after stroke suggests that validity across tools should not be assumed. Clinicians and researchers alike may use findings to help identify the most valid and reliable measurement instrument for understanding the impact of stroke on patient-reported quality of life.

Quality of life after stroke: a longitudinal analysis of a cluster randomized trial
ConclusionAn individualized management program did not improve QoL over 24  months. Those who are older, female, with lower educational attainment, greater anxiety, depression and handicap may require greater support.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.anzctr.org.au. Unique identifier: ACTRN12608000166370.

Health-related quality of life after first-ever acute ischemic stroke: associations with cardiovascular health metrics
ConclusionAchieving a better cardiovascular health profile is associated with better quality of life among ischemic stroke survivors, primarily in those with physical or cognitive impairment.

A scoping review on studies about the quality of life of informal caregivers of stroke survivors
ConclusionThere is a need for standardizing the assessment of the QoL of informal caregivers of stroke survivors, as well as for investing in cross-country/cultural studies with robust mixed methods designs to allow a deeper understanding of the experiences of caregivers. Further research, policies, and practices should consider the diversity and complexity of the characteristics influencing QoL, to empower informal caregivers and improve their QoL.
