Popis: To estimate the construct validity of the Preference-Based Stroke Index and its value added over a generic measure, the EuroQol-5D-3L at three months after stroke.This is a secondary analysis of an existing inception cohort. Pearson correlation coefficients were estimated to test construct validity and Generalized Estimating Equation analysis was conducted to compare the strength of the correlations of the Preference-Based Stroke Index and EuroQol-5D-3L with other measures.Community.Participants (Health-related quality of life was measured using Preference-Based Stroke Index and EuroQol-5D-3L. For validation purposes, the Stroke Impact Scale, Short Form-36 V1, Walking Speed, Two-Minute Walk Test, Berg Balance Scale, and the Mini-Mental State Examination were used. The Barthel Index and Canadian Neurological Scale were used to define known groups.Preference-Based Stroke Index correlated moderately with the EuroQol-5D-3L (Preference-Based Stroke Index demonstrated significantly higher construct validity compared to the EuroQol-5D-3L at three months post stroke and can discriminate among known groups.
