Predicting individual long-term prognosis of spatial neglect based on acute stroke patient data.

ABSTRACT: One of the most pressing questions after a stroke is whether an individual patient will recover in the long term. Previous studies demonstrated that spatial neglect-a common cognitive deficit after right hemispheric stroke-is a strong predictor for poor performance on a wide range of everyday tasks and for resistance to rehabilitation. The possibility of predicting long-term prognosis of spatial neglect is therefore of great relevance. The aim of the present study was to test the prognostic value of different imaging and non-imaging features from right hemispheric stroke patients: individual demographics (age, sex), initial neglect severity and acute lesion information (size, location). Patients' behaviour was tested twice in the acute and the chronic phases of stroke and prediction models
