Abstract
In previously independent individuals, cognitive impairment was common 3 months after stroke and related to increasing age, stroke severity, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and cerebral atrophy on brain scanning. Cognition was related to dependency, disability, low mood, and quality of life. Hence, treatment directed toward reducing dependency might also reduce cognitive impairment.
