Language and Cognitive Outcomes Following Ischemic Stroke in Children With Monolingual and Bilingual Exposure.

ABSTRACT: Aim: Although many children who experience ischemic stroke come from bilingual backgrounds, it is unclear whether bilingual exposure affects poststroke development. Our research evaluates bilingual and monolingual exposure on linguistic/cognitive development poststroke across 3 stroke-onset groups. Method: An institutional stroke registry and medical charts were used to gather data on 237 children across 3 stroke-onset groups: neonatal, <28 days; first-year, 28 days to 12 months; and childhood, 13 months to 18 years.

Results: Similar cognitive outcomes were observed across language groups. However, an interaction effect with str
