Observational Study on Stroke Recovery and Social Factors

This observational study is looking at how social and lifestyle factors, called social determinants of health (SDOH), might affect how well people recover mentally after a stroke. Researchers want to understand if things like education or ethnicity play a role in maintaining mental functions. They will be studying adults aged 18 to 99 who have previously participated in the Natural History of Stroke study. The main goal is to see how a person's function after a stroke, measured by the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), is influenced by the size of the stroke in their brain and by their social determinants of health. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 450 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning participants will be observed without receiving any specific interventions. It plans to include 450 participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Post-stroke function is measured at the time of enrollment in the Natural History of Stroke study, and social determinants of health are gathered at present.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
Adults aged 18 or older.
Previous participant in the Natural History of Stroke with an interpretable baseline MRI scan, NIHSS measured at baseline or discharge, and admission diagnosis of ischemic stroke.
Fluent in English or Spanish

Exclusion

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) = 6 at any follow-up (usually up to 90 days) in the Natural History of Stroke study (mRS = 6 indicates the participant is dead).

What this trial measures

  • Post-stroke function as defined by NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)NIHSS and core infarct volume gathered at time of enrollment in Natural History of Stroke study, SDOH gathered at present

    Will use linear regression models to assess association between core infarct volume and post stroke function (as defined by NIHSS) as modified by SDOH
