Background: Shoulder pain is common complication of stroke with multiple aetiological mechanisms but there are few population-based studies of the clinical profile, frequency and impact of the disorder. Objectives: To determine the frequency and characteristics of hemiplegic shoulder pain in the first year after stroke. Methods: Data on any shoulder pain were obtained in patients registered in a population-based stroke incidence study undertaken in a defined area of the western suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia, over a 12-month period to July 2010. Subjective (any, onset, severity [visual analogue scale] and aggravating factors) and three objective (modified Neer test, passive hand-behind-neck, and passive external rotation) measures of pain were undertaken at baseline, and 4 and 12 months post-stroke. Results: Among 301 stroke patients, shoulder pain data were available for 198 (66%), as 62 had died prior to the 4 month assessment and 41 either refused or were unavailable for assessment. Information on shoulder pain was available from 198 stroke survivors at baseline, 156 at 4 months and 148 at 12 months. Overall, 10% reported shoulder pain at baseline, whilst 21% reported pain at both follow-up assessments, so that overall approximately one third (27%) of patients reported some shoulder pain during 12 months post-stroke. The median pain score (visual analogue scale = 40) was highest at 4 months, and the characteristics varied from mild and prominent at rest (including night) in the early weeks, to being more associated with limited range of movement and aggravated by active movement towards 12 months, suggesting increasing musculoskeletal contributions to pain over time. Objective passive range of motion tests were associated with higher frequencies of pain than were elicited by self-reports. Conclusions: The frequency of post-stroke shoulder pain was similar to other population-based studies, suggesting limited progress in prevention and management of this complication. As the disorder is most common and severe after hospital-discharge, targeted protocols may facilitate identification and management.

Abstract Objectives EQ-5D-Y-3L health states are valued by adults taking the perspective of a 10-year-old child. Compared to valuation of adult EQ-5D instruments, this entails two changes to the perspective: (i) child health states are valued instead of adult health states and: (ii) health states are valued for someone else instead of for oneself. Although earlier work has shown that these combined changes yield different values for child and adult health states that are otherwise equal, it currently remains unclear why. Hence, we aimed to disentangle the effects of both changes. Methods A sample of 205 students (mean age: 19.48) was surveyed. Each respondent completed visual analogue scale (VAS) and time trade-off (TTO) tasks for five EQ-5D-Y-3L states, using four randomly ordered perspectives: (i) self-adult (themselves), (ii) other-adult (someone their age), (iii) self-child (themselves as a 10-year-old), (iv) other-child (a child of 10 years old). We compared how each perspective impacted outcomes, precision and quality of EQ-5D-Y-3L valuation. Results Overall, differences between perspectives were consistent, with their direction being dependent on the health states and respondents. For VAS, the effect on outcomes of valuation depended on severity, but variance was higher in valuation with child perspectives. For TTO, we observed that EQ-5D-Y-3L states valued on behalf of others (i.e., children or adults) received higher valuations, but lower variances. Conclusion The use of a different perspective appears to yield systematic differences in EQ-5D-Y-3L valuation, with considerable heterogeneity between health states and respondents. This may explain mixed findings in earlier work.

Abstract Background Examine whether the use of different ages has an impact on the valuation of EQ-5D-Y health states for a hypothetical child or adolescent. Methods A survey was administered during regular classes among a convenience sample of university students in the Netherlands. Respondents first valued 6 EQ-5D-Y health states (2 mild, 2 moderate, 2 severe) describing a hypothetical child/adolescent of a certain age on a visual analogue scale (VAS). After 1 h respondents valued the same six health states again but this time the age of the child was different. Age differed between 4, 10 and 16 year old. Results Number of respondents was 311. No significant differences in valuation of the six health states were found between the age of 10 and 16. One moderate health state was valued significantly better for a 4-year old compared to a 10 and a 16 year old. The same applied for one severe health state that was valued higher for a 4-year old compared to a 16-year old. Conclusion Our study shows that, except for one moderate and one severe health state, other EQ-5D-Y health states were not valued significantly different when description of age differed. It is possible that problems in specific health domains are considered more severe for older children/adolescents compared to younger children who might still be dependent on their caregivers. Future research should examine whether our findings are also present in a broader set of EQ-5D-Y health states, with a choice-based method like TTO or DCE, and a more heterogeneous sample.

Health preferences have not previously been investigated among patients with tuberculous infection or disease. The authors assessed the reliability of visual analogue scale (VAS) and standard gamble (SG) measurements in this patient population. Participants were interviewed 3 times in English or French, at weekly intervals. They evaluated their own health status, as well as 3 marker health states, derived by consensus among tuberculosis (TB) practitioners. For the VAS, health states were assigned a duration of 6 months, whereas for the SG, the duration was 10 years. One hundred eighty-six potentially eligible individuals were identified from the TB clinic database of the Montreal Chest Institute. One hundred twelve (60%) were successfully located; of these, 106 were confirmed eligible. Sixty-seven (63%) agreed to participate, and 50 completed all study measurements (25 treated for latent TB, 17 treated for active TB, and 8 with previous active TB); 38 out of 50 were foreign-born. Intraclass correlation coefficients for the marker states were 0.57 to 0.81 for the VAS, and 0.75 to 0.87 for the SG. For respondents’ own health, the coefficients were 0.60 and 0.87, respectively. Median VAS scores for respondents’ own health were 85.0 to 88.0 for the 3 interviews, whereas the median utility score was 97.5 for all 3. Administration of the visual analogue scale and standard gamble instruments appeared reliable in a selected group of tuberculosis patients. Major barriers to recruitment were language and mobility in this largely foreign-born population.
