Patients undergoing subacute rehabilitation have accurate expectations of their health-related quality of life at discharge
Background Expectations held by patients and health professionals may affect treatment choices and participation ( by both patients and health professionals ) in therapeutic interventions in contemporary patient-centered healthcare environments . If patients in rehabilitation setting s overestimate their discharge health-related quality of life , they may become despondent as their progress falls short of their expectations . On the other h and , underestimating their discharge health-related quality of life may lead to a lack of motivation to participate in therapies if they do not perceive likely benefit . There is a scarcity of empirical evidence evaluating whether patients ’ expectations of future health states are accurate . The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy with which older patients admitted for subacute in-hospital rehabilitation can anticipate their discharge health-related quality of life . Methods A prospect i ve longitudinal cohort investigation of agreement between patients ’ anticipated discharge health-related quality of life ( as reported on the EQ-5D instrument at admission to a rehabilitation unit ) and their actual self-reported health-related quality of life at the time of discharge from this unit was undertaken . The  mini-mental state examination  was used as an indicator of patients ’ cognitive ability . Results Overall , 232(85 % ) patients had all assessment data completed and were included in analysis . Kappa scores ranged from 0.42 - 0.68 across the five EQ-5D domains and two patient cognition groups . The percentage of exact correct matches within each domain ranged from 69 % to 85 % across domains and cognition groups . Overall 40 % of participants in each cognition group correctly anticipated all of their self-reported discharge EQ-5D domain responses . Conclusions Patients admitted for subacute in-hospital rehabilitation were able to anticipate their discharge health-related quality of life on the EQ-5D instrument with a moderate level of accuracy . This finding adds to the foundational empirical work supporting joint treatment decision making and patient-centered models of care during rehabilitation following acute illness or injury . Accurate patient expectations of the impact of treatment ( or disease progression ) on future health-related related quality of life is likely to allow patients and health professionals to successfully target interventions to priority areas where meaningful gains can be achieved
