Validation and Standardisation of a Pool of Simplified Evaluation Aimed to the Diagnoses of Aphasic Disorders and Adapted to the Patients Suffering an Acute Phase of Stroke

University Hospital, Limoges395 enrolled

Overview

Every year in France, from 100 000 to 145 000 people are affected by a stroke. 75% patients survived with aftereffects, in particular aphasic disorders. A sketch of a new tool called BESTA aiming to a rapid handover to the acute phase post stroke had been worked out. After a meeting, 13 multidisciplinary experts have discussed, adjusted and a new complete tool (BESTA) had been created in order to evaluate the different states of aphasia. The goal of this study is the validation and the standardization of this new BESTA tool.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

validity of concomitant criterion at T0 versus LAST

T0: the gold standard was determined by the expert group is the LAST screening tool. The tool to be evaluated is the BESTA at T0. However, as written expression is not evaluated in the LAST, only the dimensions and Oral Expression Listening Comprehension of BESTA may actually be faced with LAST scale.
