Objective

To find the prevalence and socio-demographic as well as clinical determinants of the post stroke cognitive impairment.

Background Post stroke cognitive impairment/dysfunction is a serious consequence of stroke which causes disability. The aim of current study is to find the prevalence and socio-demographic as well as clinical determinants of the post stroke cognitive impairment

Design/Methods

The present study was a prospective hospital based study conducted during Oct, 2015 to April, 2017. Total 200 patients were included in this study. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) score was used to determine Cognitive impairment after 03 months and 06 months as per diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM) V.

Results Post stroke cognitive decline was measured by MoCA scale at 03 months and 06 months and respective prevalence was 67% and 31.6%. By MMSE scale cognitive decline prevalence at 03 months was found to be 87 (46.3%) which reduced to 22 (17.1%) at 06 months. Association between MMSE scale and type of stroke was significant at 03 months.

Conclusions

One third of the stroke patients developed post stroke cognitive decline at 03 months having different levels of severity. The major predictors for new onset post stroke cognitive impairment were diabetes and hypertension. Prevalence of post stroke cognitive decline reduced significantly at 06 months after stroke in follow up.
