Description
Weiwei Qian and two colleagues tracked how stroke patients' sense of their own risk of a second stroke changed over six months at home. How people view that risk may shape how well they recover. The team enrolled 240 patients in Nantong, China, and scored their risk views at discharge and at one, three, and six months.
Four paths emerged, from steady low concern to risk views that rose late. The late-rising group fared worst: more trouble with daily function, worse nerve scores, and lower quality of life at six months. That group also had the most repeat strokes, though such events were few. Steady or easing risk views showed no clear harm. The authors suggest watching risk views over time to spot patients who need more support.
