Taiwan Post-Stroke Disability Study (T-PODS): A Survey of Multiple Post-Stroke Disability Domains Among Stroke Patients in Taiwan

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Stroke remains a major health issue in Taiwan, being the fourth leading cause of death and the top cause of disability. While past research has focused on functional outcomes at three months post-stroke, stroke can cause a range of disabilities in areas such as motor function, swallowing, cognition, depression, and epilepsy. This study will investigate these disabilities by enrolling 2,000 acute stroke patients (both ischemic and hemorrhagic) from 10 medical centers across Taiwan. Data will be collected at three key points: at enrollment, three months, and twelve months post-stroke, using surveys, assessments, imaging, and blood samples. The aim is to examine the prevalence, risk factors, and long-term changes of post-stroke disabilities, ultimately seeking ways to reduce the health burden of stroke in Taiwan.
