Use of the scale of clinical expression of the stroke for determining the rehabilitation prediction

The aim is to study the relationship between the parameters of neurological status and quality of life of patients who first underwent ischemic strokes in the carotid basin to predict the outcome of an acute cerebrovascular accident. Material and Methods. 73 patients with ischemic stroke in the carotid artery basin were examined. Analyzed indices of the scales, reflecting the severity of motor deficit (NIHSS, Rankin, Rivermead, Fugl-Meyer), the initial evaluation and parameters of quality of life using the questionnaire SF-3624-36 months after inpatient treatment. Patients were divided into groups of favorable and unfavorable outcome according to the questionnaire SF-36. Results. A direct correlation between the level of physical and psychological health and indicators Of the Fugl-Meyer scale and a negative correlation between the level of psychological health and the severity of stroke on the NIHSS scale in a group with an adverse outcome was revealed. Conclusion. Indicators scales Fugl-Meyer, and NIHSS obtained in the acute period of ischemic stroke can be used to build a predictive model of outcome of stroke.
