The impact of frailty on cognitive outcomes in elderly patients with post-stroke subjective cognitive complaints.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Frailty delineates a state of poor health characterized by the accumulation of age-related health deficits, and was associated with cognitive decline in patients with subjective cognitive complaints (SCC). However, whether cognitive recovery is related to frailty in elderly patients with post-stroke SCC remained unknown. This study investigated cognitive outcomes in patients with SCC within 1 year after stroke, identified the relationship between frailty and cognitive recovery, and determined factors associated with cognitive recovery.

Methods

Patients over the age of 60 with a clinical diagnosis of post-stroke SCC were included in this study, who had evidence of cognitive deficits, including Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) = 0.5, Montreal Cogniti
