Abstract
Using stroke-related income supplement data to quantify poststroke productivity losses allowed a working-aged cohort to be investigated without inclusion restrictions based on occupational status or other factors; the use of these data as an outcome emphasized the well-known detrimental effects of atrial fibrillation and cognitive impairment on stroke outcome. The results support stroke-related income supplement use as a complementary outcome for understanding stroke-related productivity losses.
