Cerebrovascular disease, risk factors, and quality of life: A systematic review

Abstract

Background: Cerebrovascular disease is a common neurological disease. However, these results remain unclear and can be awared of the factors that cause disease from everyday life. Researchers are interested in the subject.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between cerebrovascular disease and quality of life.

Methods: A systematic review search of databases that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant data were obtained from PubMed in 2009 to 2014. A systematic search of databases resulted in PICOS (Participants: stroke patients; Intervention: stroke; Comparison: control group, compare group; Outcome: association between cerebrovascular disease and quality of life and Study design: systematic review, meta-analysis, cohort study, literature review).

Results: A systematic search of databases revealed that 85 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from 92,790 articles. The result showed that cerebrovascular disease was associated with quality of life.

Conclusion: This study suggested that cerebrovascular disease was associated with factor preventive disease. The knowledge can be applied in everyday life to reduce the number of cerebrovascular disease patients in the future
