We performed a comprehensive review of all quality-of-life (QOL) estimates for stroke appearing in the peer-reviewed literature between 1985 and 2000. We examine variation in QOL weights and the rigor of methods used to assess QOL and discuss the implications for cost-utility assessment and resource allocation decisions.
