Twenty-eight age\/sexmatched control patients from the same hospital who had never had a stroke or transient ischaemic attack. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods: Patients and controls were asked to rank 11 clinical scenarios of potential stroke outcomes, from the most to the least desirable outcome. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: There was a striking bimodal distribution for sudden painless death in both groups. Painless death was preferred to even a minor stroke disability in over one-third of elderly individuals, whilst 20% would prefer severe disability rather than painless death. Sixty-nine per cent of stroke patients and 82% of controls ranked death as preferable to severe disability. Stroke patients may be more tolerant of disability (compared to death) than their controls (39% patients and 61% controls preferred death to any disability, p = 0.11). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: Our results suggest that many elderly individuals would rather die than be alive and severely disabled. This may have important implications for acute stroke treatments such as thrombolysis. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1191\/0269215500cr330oa","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,8]],"date-time":"2005-08-08T23:22:42Z","timestamp":1123543362000},"page":"417-424","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Stroke patients' views on stroke outcomes: death versus disability"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"H C","family":"Hanger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Fogarty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T J","family":"Wilkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Sainsbury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Care of the Elderly, The Princess Margaret Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","first-page":"100","volume":"16","author":"Holbrook M","year":"1982","journal-title":"J R Coll Phys Lond"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.28.4.740"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.25.9.1721"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1996.00440150083009"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1996.tb01443.x"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1997.tb01477.x"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1986.00360200193031"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0690(18)30339-2"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)65688-7"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.29.6.1083"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(91)93206-O"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.26.11.2027"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9343(89)90436-1"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1997.tb01508.x"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1992.00400170123023"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.29.2.363"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/7.4.347"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0895-4356(88)90076-5"},{"key":"atypb19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1099-1166(199702)12:2<219::AID-GPS581>3.0.CO;2-E"},{"key":"atypb20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1992.tb04473.x"},{"key":"atypb21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.311.6996.18"},{"key":"atypb22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/026921598668677675"},{"key":"atypb23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0021-9681(87)90019-1"},{"key":"atypb24","volume-title":"7th European Stroke Meeting","author":"Price CIM"},{"key":"atypb25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/0269215500cr339oa"}],"container-title":["Clinical Rehabilitation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1191\/0269215500cr330oa","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1191\/0269215500cr330oa","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T02:36:02Z","timestamp":1740796562000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1191\/0269215500cr330oa"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000,8]]},"references-count":25,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2000,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1191\/0269215500cr330oa"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1191\/0269215500cr330oa","relation":{},"ISSN":["0269-2155","1477-0873"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0269-2155","type":"print"},{"value":"1477-0873","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2000,8]]}}}
