POST-STROKE COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT – PHENOMENOLOGY AND PROGNOSTIC FACTORS

Association of Diagnostic Stroke Biomarkers with Post Stroke Cognitive Impairment

Stroke patients are at a higher risk of developing progressive cognitive impairment, often retarding patient rehabilitation. Studies have been carried out to find out the molecular mechanism associated with the stroke and its consequences on the various brain regions implicated in cognitive function. The current available therapy does not improve longterm outcome and remains a substantially unm...

Factors Related to Long-Term Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment in Young Adult Ischemic Stroke

BACKGROUND Post-stroke cognitive impairment is common and a decisive prognostic factor. However, few studies have reported on post-stroke cognition in young adults, especially long-term cognition. This study was designed to investigate the influence of baseline factors, treatments, and functional outcome on the long-term cognitive outcome in young adults with ischemic stroke. MATERIAL AND MET...

Balance and Mobility as Predictors of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment

BACKGROUND The number of patients with cognitive impairment following stroke is increasing due to the rise in the number of stroke survivors. Health authorities highlight the need for prediction and early diagnostics. The aims of this study were to investigate if balance and mobility may predict cognitive impairment 1 year after stroke. METHODS The participants were patients with first-ever s...

Post-stroke cognitive impairment: epidemiology, mechanisms and management.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment occurs frequently in the patients with stroke. The prevalence of post-stroke cognitive impairment ranges from 20% to 80%, which varies for the difference between the countries, the races, and the diagnostic criteria. The risk of post-stroke cognitive impairment is related to both the demographic factors like age, education and occupation and vascular factors. Th...
