Brief Summary:
Korean Stroke Cohort for functioning and rehabilitation (KOSCO) is a large, multi-centre prospective cohort study for all acute first-ever stroke patients admitted to participating hospitals in nine distinct areas of Korea. This study is designed as a 10-year, longitudinal follow-up investigating the residual disabilities, activity limitations, and quality of life issues arising in patients suffering from first-ever stroke. The main objectives of this study are to identify the factors that influence residual disability and long-term quality of life. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the risk of mortality and recurrent vascular events in patients with acute first-ever stroke. Investigators will investigate longitudinal health behaviors and patterns of healthcare utilization, including stroke rehabilitation care. Investigators will also investigate the long-term health status, mood, and quality of life in stroke patient caregivers. In addition, investigators will identify baseline and ongoing characteristics that are associated with secondary outcomes.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Korean modified Barthel Index [ Time Frame: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for activities of daily living

  2. Change in Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimensions [ Time Frame: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for quality of life

  3. Change in Functional Independence Measurement [ Time Frame: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for activities of daily living

  4. Change in Korean Mini-Mental State Examination [ Time Frame: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for cognitive function

  5. Change in Korean Version of Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test [ Time Frame: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for language function

  6. Change in modified Rankin Scale [ Time Frame: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    Measurement for disability. Range of total score 0 to 6. 0 is no disability at all and 6 is death. Therefore, greater value means worse functional status

  7. Change in American Speech-Language-Hearing Association National Outcome Measurement System Swallowing Scale [ Time Frame: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    Measurement for swallowing function. Range of scale is 0 to 7, and greater value means better function. For example, 7 means no swallowing difficulty at all.

  8. Change in Geriatric depression scale-short form [ Time Frame: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for depression. The scale is 0 to 15. 0 is normal whereas 15 indicates severe depression.

  9. Change in Fugl-Meyer Assessment [ Time Frame: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for motor function

  10. Change in Functional Ambulatory Category [ Time Frame: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, 108 months after stroke onset ]
    measurement for gait function
