ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To report on the self-perceived occupational performance of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and examine the associations between aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage characteristics, socio-demographic factors and self-perceived problems.DESIGN:
A single-centre cohort study design was combined with a cross-sectional analysis. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS All patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage who were capable of performing activities of daily living before discharge from hospital were included.METHODS:
The assessment of the patient's occupational performance followed a patient-reported outcome measure 1 to 5 years after the subarachnoid haemorrhage. Secondary outcomes comprised scores from the Glasgow Outcome Scale, modified Rankin Scale, Fisher Scale, World Federation of Neurological Societies grading system, vasospasm, and hydrocephalus.RESULTS:
Of the 62 patients included in the study (66% female, mean age 55 years), 79% reported experiencing issues with occupational performance, most frequently with regard to leisure and productivity. The problems reported were significantly associated with vasospasm (p = 0.021) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale score (p = 0.045).CONCLUSION:
Even patients who have had aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage with a favourable outcome may encounter occupational performance difficulties for several years. It is vital to use patient-reported outcome measures to identify these issues. This research enhances our comprehension of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage patients' self-perceived occupational performance and the factors that affect their performance.
