The StrokeCog study
Objective To describe the process of developing a cognitive rehabilitation intervention for patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and to describe the intervention prior to evaluation in a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT). Method: The Medical Research Council framework, ‘Developing and evaluating complex interventions’, was used to develop the cognitive rehabilitation intervention. We conducted a combined analysis of the exi…
The Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment on Admission to Nursing Home among Residents with and without Stroke
Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common consequence of stroke. Epidemiological evidence indicates that, with an ageing population, stroke and PSCI are likely to increase in the coming decades. This may have considerable implications for the demand for nursing home placement. As prevalence estimates of both cognitive impairment and dementia on admission to nursing home among residents with and without stroke have not yet been compared,…
Does the EQ-5D capture the effects of physical and mental health status on life satisfaction among older people? A path analysis approach
Psychometric evaluation of the Casp-19 quality of life scale in an older Irish cohort
Irish exceptionalism? local food environments and dietary quality
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether distance to and density of food outlets within the local area have an impact on individual dietary quality, controlling for the socioeconomic characteristics of individuals and their households. METHODS: An analysis of the Survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition in Ireland (SLÁN), a two-stage clustered sample of 10,364 individuals aged 18+ from the Republic of Ireland. Socioeconomic status was measured using net…

Introduction Dietary quality is an important predictor of health outcome and plays a prominent role in premature death from a number of chronic health conditions including cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Socio-economic gradients in food consumption are observed worldwide. Inadequate nutritional intake and poor dietary habits are also associated with food poverty, a well documented global public health problem, which is a complex and mult…
