Factors Influencing Poststroke Cognitive Dysfunction: Cross-Sectional Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common and debilitating complication that affects stroke survivors, impacting memory, attention, and executive function. Despite its prevalence, the factors contributing to PSCI remain unclear, with limited insights into how demographic and clinical variables influence cognitive outcomes.

Objective

This study investigates the incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with stroke and examines key demographic and clinical factors, such as age, gender, and education level, which contribute to cognitive decline. The aim is to provide a deeper understanding of PSCI to inform early intervention strategies for improving patient outcomes.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 305 patients with ischemic stro
