Item type:Publication, Patient centered outcomes in stroke: utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale results in a community-based study(Frontiers Media SA, 2025-03-21) ;Carlos Delfino ;Gabriel Cavada; ; Background and aims</jats:title><jats:p>The transformation of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores based on the corresponding utilities of health-related quality of life questionnaires can facilitate the capture of Patient-Centered Outcomes (PCO) in stroke. We aimed to derive utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale (UW-mRS) values by mapping mRS functional status to EQ-5D-3L scores in a population-based cohort of stroke patients.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>The UW-mRS was obtained by analyzing the EQ5-D-3 L and mRS scores at 180 days after any stroke in the ÑANDU study, a large prospective community-based study in Chile. The mRS prediction was estimated using a linear regression adjusted by the EQ-5D-3L value. Generalized linear and binary logistic regression models were constructed to determine influencing factors of the UW-mRS, using STATA software (version 18.0).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>We included 773 patients presenting with any stroke during 2015–2016: 48% were female, with a mean age of 71 years (SD 13.8), and 85% had an acute ischemic stroke (AIS). 82% of patients had a low socioeconomic status, 50% had less than 12 years of formal education, and only 32% lived in urban areas. UW-mRS values for mRS categories 0–6 at 180 days were 0.913, 0.694, 0.425, 0.249, −0.102, −0.347 and 0, respectively. Multivariable analysis identified age &gt; 70 years (Coefficient <jats:italic>β</jats:italic> [β] -0.038 [Standard error SE 0.018], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.032), prior mRS score 3–5 (<jats:italic>β</jats:italic> −0.556 [SE 0.197], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001), ischemic stroke (β −0.066 [SE 0.025], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.010), and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission&gt;5 (<jats:italic>β</jats:italic> −0.015 [SE 0.002], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) as significant predictors of worse UW-mRS scores (R<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> = 70%) in the overall group. Sex-disaggregated analysis showed that age &gt; 70 years was a significant predictor in males (β −0.069 [SE 0.024], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.006), while presenting an AIS had a greater impact on female’s worse UW-mRS score (β −0.087 [SE 0.033], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.010).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>These results present UW-mRS values derived from a population-based stroke study. Key determinants of health-related quality of life in post-stroke patients included age, prior disability, and stroke severity. Sex-disaggregated analysis revealed age being significant for males and AIS for females. Incorporating PCO as UW-mRS in stroke research can provide a more nuanced understanding of the impact of stroke on survivors, offering valuable insights for clinical decision-making and rehabilitation strategies across diverse healthcare contexts.<Scopus© Citations 1 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Condiciones de habitabilidad de viviendas para personas mayores. Revisión de criterios de diseño(2024); ;Cristian Schmitt ;Eliana Ortiz Velosa ;Juan Pablo MarchettiViviana Bucarey<jats:p>El articulo problematiza en la necesidad de estándares de diseño y pautas arquitectónicas para adaptaciones de viviendas de personas mayores con y sin discapacidad para disminuir riesgos en las actividades diarias en sus viviendas. Para esto se utiliza el Modelo Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, la Discapacidad y la Salud (CIF) identificando los problemas de funcionalidad y discapacidades que afectan en las actividades domésticas de personas mayores. El objetivo es proponer criterios de diseño que mejoren la calidad de vida de la población mayor al facilitar las actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria al interior de sus viviendas. Utilizando el análisis de contenido tanto del CIF, como las actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria, se proponen criterios de diseño para viviendas de personas mayores en general y para personas mayores con discapacidades cognitiva (Alzheimer), sensoriales (visuales y auditivos) y física (usuarios de silla de ruedas).</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 1 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Necesidades arquitectónicas en viviendas de personas en situación de discapacidad(2023); ;Viviana BucareyJuan Pablo MarchettiLa vivienda representa encuentro, recuerdos y seguridad, pero para personas en situación de discapacidad algunas de sus características se pueden volver en barreras para usarla plenamente. Si se considera que la discapacidad es una deficiente relación entre entorno y capacidad. La vivienda puede ser poco accesible para este grupo de personas. A partir de los componentes de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud, de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, y a la aplicación de 16 entrevistas semiestructuradas esta investigación analizó las barreras arquitectónicas e identificó las necesidades a las que se enfrentan las personas con Alzheimer, Parkison, ceguera, niños del espectro autista, personas mayores, usuario de silla de rueda y personas con sordera en relación a la realización de tareas y demandas generales, comunicación, movilidad, autocuidado y vida doméstica al interior de las viviendas. Dentro de los espacios con mayores barreras se encuentran el baño y la cocina para la gran parte de los casos analizados, por otra parte, se observaron diversas estrategias que los entrevistados utilizan para hacer frente estas barreras y aumentar su bienestar o disminuir los riesgos en las actividades de la vida diaria al interior de las viviendas.4Scopus© Citations 1
