ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryQuality of Life RAND 36-Item Health SurveyChange in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). The RAND 36-Item Health Survey taps eight health concepts: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, emotional well-being, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions. It also includes a single item that provides an indication of perceived change in health. Note that all items are scored so that a high score defines a more favorable health state. In addition, each item is scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively. Scores represent the percentage of total possible score achieved. Items in the same scale are averaged together to create the 8 scale scores which will have a 0 to 100 range.
OtherSTAI-FormY-1 Questionnaire (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory)Change in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores correlating with greater anxiety.
OtherSTAI-Form-Y2 Questionnaire (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory)Change in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores correlating with greater anxiety.
OtherMontreal Cognitive Assessment (Moca)Change in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). The score is 0 - 30 point test with the higher the score the better cognitive function.
OtherDirected Fluency; Cowa (Controlled Oral Word Association Test)Change in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). The participant is asked to name as many words as possible beginning with a letter, excluding proper nouns, for one minute and this procedure is repeated three times.
OtherHopkins Verbal Learning Test Version AChange in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). This test measures word recognition. 12 words are read to the subject and they have to repeat as many as they can recall. There are 4 trials, each with 12 total possible words.
OtherStroop Color TestChange in baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). Only 9 patients in the minimally invasive surgery arm completed the stroop color test, and only 6 patients in the medical therapy group completed the stroop color test. In this test, subjects are asked to read a list of color words. 100 is the maximum amount of correct responses per trial.
OtherWtar (Wechsler Test of Adult Reading) Word ListBaseline
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). The WTAR is composed of 50 irregularly spelled words and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The examiner begins by presenting the first word card and prompting the patient for a single pronunciation of the word. This procedure continues through all 50 word cards and is discontinued if the patient provides 12 consecutive incorrect pronunciations. Each correct pronunciation is given a score of 1, with 50 as the maximum raw score.
OtherStroop Word TestChange in Baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). Only 9 patients in the minimally invasive surgery arm completed the stroop word test, and only 6 patients in the medical therapy group completed the stroop word test. In this test, subjects are asked to read a list of words. 100 is the maximum amount of correct responses per trial.
OtherDirected Fluency, AnimalsChange in Baseline, 3 month, and 6 month
Compare quality of life of patient satisfaction between the surgery and or the medication in stroke patients with AF (atrial fibrillation). The participant is asked to name as many animals as possible beginning with a letter, for one minute.
