Importance of Retesting for the Final Diagnosis of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment

Abstract: Background and Objectives: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) has been defined as all problems in cognitive function that occur following a stroke. Studies published thus far on the prevalence of PSCI and post-stroke dementia (PSD) have shown conflicting estimates. The aim of this study was screening for cognitive impairment (CogI) in patients with an ischaemic stroke and finding the relationship between CogI (and its changes) and cardiovascular risk factors and imaging procedures—CT/MRI.

“…Several MR studies also proved that a higher educational attainment was a protective factor for hypertension and type 2 diabetes, further supporting that high education could reduce IS risk [ 17 , 18 ]. Furthermore, the education level might influence stroke survivors’ cognitive status [ 19 , 20 ]. Higher education levels were less likely to affect their cognitive functioning because they had a larger brain reserve capacity [ 21 ].…”
