From: Self-rated health after stroke: a systematic review of the literature

Study

Inferential statistical analysis

Conclusions about self-rated health

Ho, 2018 [72]

Multinomial logistic regression model

Stroke were found to be a significant predictive factor related to worse SRH in elder widowed people

Kim, Lee, 2018 [71]

Multivariate logistic regression model

Suicidal ideation was significantly more common among stroke survivors with poor SRH compared with good SRH for both genders, male and female

Song et al., 2018 [73]

Multivariate logistic regression model

Stroke was the most important factor associated with worse age comparative SRH among total population, rural residence and male individuals

Mavaddat et al., 2018 [42]

Qualitative Thematic analysis

SRH after a stroke is based in a multidimensional appraisal and reflect the combination of of physical, psychological and social influences, from past and future perceptions of health.

Guerard et al. 2016 [54]

Multinomial logistic regression model

Significant association between stroke episode and SRH

Patterson, Sibley 2016 [57]

Multiple logistic regression model

In people with stroke, the risk of arthritis is higher than in healthy people and the association of these two comorbidities was related to poor SRH

Arokiasamy et al. 2015 [74]

Multinomial logistic regression model

Not reported

Theme Filha et al. 2015 [77]

Multiple logistic regression model

Stroke was the chronic non-communicable disease with the highest proportion of bad answers in SRH

Waller et al. 2015 [38]

Ordinal logistic regression model

Stroke was associated to a worse age comparative SRH

Mavaddat et al. 2014 [70]

Multiple logistic regression model

Poor SRH was associated to stroke especially with other comorbidities

Arruda et al. 2015 [75]

Multiple logistic regression model

Poor SRH was associated to stroke in adults

Varela et al. 2013 [76]

Chi square test

More than a half of people with COPD, who had a stroke showed good or excellent SRH

Mavaddat et al. 2013 [21]

Multiple logistic regression model

Social aspects and diabetes showed to be related to poor SRH in older individuals with stroke

Cerniauskaite et al. 2012 [37]

Pearson correlation coefficient

SRH had a strong correlation with functionality in people with stroke

Boyington et al. 2008 [63]

Multiple logistic regression model

SRH in people with stroke had no differences related to skin color. However, when these people present limitations in ADL and mobility, SRH become more important for whites than to blacks

Goebeler et al. 2007 [36]

Chi square test

In individuals over than 90 years old and with stroke, SRH was poor

Salbach et al. 2006 (1) [59]

Cronbach alpha measure of internal consistency

Not reported

Martins et al. 2006 [46]

Correlation measures

SRH showed a strong correlation with the emotional state, ability to perform ADL and social life

Han et al. 2008 [51]

Structure equation modeling

In elder, the presence of other health condition beyond stroke had more influence in SRH evaluation

Tuomilehto et al. 1995 [48]

Not done

85% of the respondents 14 years post stroke, reported good or satisfied health. Although, one third showed poor functional capacity due to permanent sequelae of the stroke

Pope, 1988 [50]

Multiple logistic regression model

Poor SRH was associated to severe chronic health conditions like stroke
