Sammanfattning

We studied psychosocial conditions among three nationally representative groups of long-term surviving stroke patients. These groups were sent two health-related postal questionnaires either 5, 10 or 15 years after they had suffered strokes. Results showed that at discharge they had relatively low to moderate levels of physical sequelae and aphasias. However, at follow-up there were frequently psychosocial consequences which appeared to be stable and chronic. The strongest predictor for later quality of life was the Rankin score reflecting functional capacity at discharge.
