Dementia is common after a first ischemic stroke in individuals under 80. Aphasia frequently co-occurs, impacting dementia diagnosis and screening efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cognitive deficits significantly impact post-stroke quality of life.
  • Dementia is a potential consequence of ischemic stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of dementia 3 months after a first ischemic stroke.
  • To identify risk factors and correlates of post-stroke dementia in patients aged 40-79.

Main Methods:

  • Consecutive series of 146 non-demented patients (40-79 years) after first ischemic stroke.
  • Clinical assessment and CT scans performed 3 months post-stroke.
  • Dementia diagnosed using National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and AIREN criteria, with aphasia cases not excluded initially.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Fifteen patients (13.6%) were diagnosed with dementia.
  • Excluding aphasia cases, dementia frequency was 5.0%.
  • Significant correlates included age (60-69), diabetes, aphasia, large middle cerebral artery infarction, and frontal lobe lesions.

Conclusions:

  • Dementia is relatively frequent after a first ischemic stroke in individuals under 80.
  • Aphasia is often associated with post-stroke dementia, complicating diagnosis.
  • Screening for dementia post-stroke requires careful consideration of aphasia presence.
