ABSTRACT
We report an investigation to identify patient factors which influence social outcome measured by the Frenchay Activities Index at 12 months after a disabling stroke. Using data from a previous randomised trial a logistic regression model identified gait speed, prestroke Frenchay Activities Index, the Abbreviated Mental Test score, sensory neglect, chronic obstructive airways disease and left hemiplegia as significantly associated with 12-month social outcome scores. The model correctly predicted the social outcome for 78% of the study population and, when tested on a second data set, correctly predicted 76% of cases. These patient factors provide insight into social activity recovery after stroke and could be considered as stratification factors in future community stroke randomised trials.
