Stroke; a Journal of Cerebral Circulation

Abstract

Frequency of poststroke dementia is high, and stroke considerably increases the risk of dementia. The risk factors for dementia related to stroke are still incompletely understood. We sought to examine clinical determinants of poststroke dementia in a large well-defined stroke cohort. The study group comprised 337 of 486 consecutive patients aged 55 to 85 years who 3 months after ischemic stroke completed a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery and MRI, including structured medical, neurological, and laboratory evaluations; clinical mental status examination; interview of a knowledgeable informant; detailed history of risk factors; and evaluation of stroke type, localization, and syndrome. The DSM-III definition for dementia was used. Frequency of any poststroke dementia was 31.8% (107/337), that of stroke-related dementia (mixed Alzheimer's disease plus vascular dementia excluded) was 28.4% (87/306), and that of dementia after first-ever stroke was 28.9% (79/273). The patients with poststroke dementia were older and more often had a low level of education, history of prior cerebrovascular disease and stroke, left hemispheric stroke (reflecting laterality), major dominant stroke syndrome (reflecting laterality and size)...Continue Reading
