To examine and compare the contents of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures used in stroke, based on the ICF as the frame of reference.
We conducted a systematic literature review to select current generic and condition-specific HRQoL measures applied in stroke. We examined the contents of the selected measures by linking the concepts within the instruments' items to the ICF.
The systematic literature review resulted in the selection of six generic and seven stroke-specific HRQoL measures. Within the selected instruments we identified 979 concepts. To map these concepts, we used 200 different ICF categories. None of the ICF categories is contained in all of the instruments. The most frequently used category is 'b152 Emotional functions' contained in 53 items from 10 instruments. Stroke-specific measures more often address 'Mental functions', while the selected generic instruments more often include Environmental Factors.
The present study provides an overview on current HRQoL measures in stroke with respect to their covered contents and provides valuable information to facilitate the selection of appropriate instruments for specific purposes in clinical as well as research settings.
以国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）为参照框架，审视和比较中风领域使用的健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）测量指标的内容。
我们进行了一项系统的文献综述，以筛选当前中风领域应用的通用和特定疾病的HRQoL测量指标。我们通过将工具条目中的概念与ICF相联系，来审视所选测量指标的内容。
系统文献综述筛选出六项通用和七项中风特定的HRQoL测量指标。在所选工具中，我们识别出979个概念。为了对这些概念进行映射，我们使用了200个不同的ICF类别。没有一个ICF类别包含在所有工具中。最常使用的类别是“b152情感功能”，在10个工具的53个条目中出现。中风特定测量指标更常涉及“心理功能”，而所选通用工具更常纳入环境因素。
本研究概述了中风领域当前HRQoL测量指标的涵盖内容，并为在临床和研究环境中为特定目的选择合适工具提供了有价值的信息。
