Purpose To compare health related quality of life (HRQOL) and handicap of stroke survivors in Hong Kong (HK) and Chengdu (CD) in Mainland China. Method Fifty-four pairs of first ever stroke patients in CD and in HK matched by age, sex and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were interviewed using a structured questionnaire at 16–36 months after stroke. HRQOL and handicap outcomes were evaluated by the Chinese version of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and London Handicap Scale (LHS) respectively. Results Compared to stroke patients in CD, HK subjects reported significantly greater handicap, especially in the occupation domain. HK subjects also had significantly lower HRQOL Z scores in domains of role limitations due to emotional or physical problems, and bodily pain. CD subjects had more social support, but had more difficulties in meeting medical costs, and were less likely to have regular medical follow-up and dysphagia symptom. After adjusting for social and health related factors, the site differences in handicap and the role limitation (physical) domain of SF36 became insignificant. Conclusions CD stroke survivors had better scores in HRQOL and fewer handicaps than their counterparts in HK, because of social and health related factors.

Background and Purpose— Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States, and the number of stroke survivors is projected to rise. Physical functioning status may be compromised in survivors living in low socioeconomic status environments in comparison to higher socioeconomic status environments. Higher socioeconomic status environments may include benefits in the built environment such as sidewalks, accessible transit, or low traffic volume. Investigation is needed to understand the effects of the socioenvironmental context on trajectories of stroke survivors’ physical health-related quality of life (PH-QOL) over time. Methods— Participants from the REGARDS (REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke) study enrolled in the ancillary Caring for Adults Recovering from the Effects of Stroke project completed the SF-12 around 6 to 12, 18, 27, and 36 months poststroke. Measures of area-level income, wealth, education, and employment at the census tract level were combined to represent participants’ neighborhood socioeconomic status. Linear mixed models were used to predict trajectories of PH-QOL over time, controlling for individual characteristics. Results— The average trajectory of PH-QOL was flat over time. However, women and younger stroke survivors had better trajectories over time than men and older stroke survivors. Higher neighborhood socioeconomic status was significantly associated with better PH-QOL across all time points (β=1.73; 95% CI, 0.17–3.30), after controlling for demographic variables and severity of stroke. Conclusions— Our findings demonstrate that neighborhood socioeconomic status, sex, and age are associated with the poststroke recovery process. The results of this study suggest the importance of evaluating the environment surrounding stroke survivors when they return to their home communities. Future research should identify specific features of the environment within different socioeconomic status neighborhoods to better understand how they contribute to PH-QOL among stroke survivors.

BACKGROUND Telerehabilitation is an emerging technology through which medical rehabilitation care can be provided from a distance. OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the efficacy of telerehabilitation in poststroke patients. METHODS Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science databases. Continuous data were extracted for relevant outcomes and analyzed using the RevMan software as the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% CI in a fixed-effect meta-analysis model. RESULTS We included 15 studies (1339 patients) in our systematic review, while only 12 were included in the pooled analysis. The combined effect estimate showed no significant differences between the telerehabilitation and control groups in terms of the Barthel Index (SMD –0.05, 95% CI –0.18 to 0.08), Berg Balance Scale (SMD –0.04, 95% CI –0.34 to 0.26), Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity (SMD 0.50, 95% CI –0.09 to 1.09), and Stroke Impact Scale (mobility subscale; SMD 0.18, 95% CI –0.13 to 0.48]) scores. Moreover, the majority of included studies showed that both groups were comparable in terms of health-related quality of life (of stroke survivors), Caregiver Strain Index, and patients’ satisfaction with care. One study showed that the cost of telerehabilitation was lower than usual care by US $867. CONCLUSIONS Telerehabilitation can be a suitable alternative to usual rehabilitation care in poststroke patients, especially in remote or underserved areas. Larger studies are needed to evaluate the health-related quality of life and cost-effectiveness with the ongoing improvements in telerehabilitation networks.
