Disability assessment in stroke: Relationship among the pictorial-based Longshi Scale, the Barthel Index, and the modified Rankin Scale.
CONCLUSION: Using the Barthel Index as reference, the proposed Longshi Scale has better ability than the modified Rankin Scale in differentiating stroke patients' disability, especially for those with higher level of activities of daily living. PMID: 33401949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The prevalence of frailty among acute stroke patients, and evaluation of method of assessment.
CONCLUSION: Frailty is present in around one in four patients with acute stroke; if pre-frailty is included, then a frailty syndrome is seen in three out of four patients. The Frailty Index is a valid measure of frailty in stroke; however, there is little agreement between this scale and other measurements of frailty. PMID: 30971115 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Is the practice of goal-setting for patients in acute stroke care patient-centred and what factors influence this? A qualitative study.
CONCLUSION: It may be possible to infer that current local practice of goal-setting was inadequately patient-centred. Further research is required to identify strategies to overcome these challenges and to develop patient-centred goal-setting methods. PMID: 25952590 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
