IntroductionPost-stroke cognitive impairment/dementia (PSCID) is highly prevalent and associated with poor long-term outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Recognition of early determinants of PSCID allows for individualized interventions to reduce long-term disability. Furthermore, investigating the relation between PSCID and patient-reported outcomes provides insight into personalized impact of post-stroke cognitive dysfunction. We aimed to identify clinical determinants of PSCID and association with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at 3- and 12-month after AIS. Methods138 AIS patients with no previous history of dementia were included. Clinical variables were acquired on hospital admission. Patients underwent a telephone interview at 3- and 12-months post-stroke including the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS), modified Rankin scale (mRS), Barthel Index (BI) and PROM-10 questionnaires. PSCID was defined as TICS < 36 at 12-month post-stroke. Linear regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of 12-month TICS score and association with 3- and 12-month PROMs. ResultsAt 12 months post-stroke, 113 participants (82%) had PSCID. AIS patients with PSCID had higher rates of mRS ≥ 2 at 3-months (61.8% vs. 32%, p = 0.01), worse BI at 12-months (93.12 vs. 102, p < 0.01) and lower 12-month PROMs T Mental scores (48.22 vs. 52.41, p < 0.05). In linear regression analysis, worse functional and patient-reported outcomes at 3- and 12-months were independently associated with lower 12-month TICS (Table). ConclusionsLarge proportion of AIS patients experience PSCID at 12-months after stroke. 3-month PROMs, especially in the physical domain, are independently associated with worse cognitive measures at 12-months post-stroke. Moreover, PROMs at 12-months after AIS are strongly associated with PSCID. Incorporating PROMs in the ambulatory setting may offer additional insight into cognitive impairment after stroke.
