Prevalence of pre-stroke and stroke-related vision impairments and their association with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundVision impairment is a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among stroke survivors, but it is unclear if this association is driven by vision impairment present before or due to the stroke, and if similar associations exist with dementia.ObjectiveTo (1) characterize the prevalence of pre-stroke and stroke-related vision impairment(s) among stroke survivors, and (2) quantify associations of vision impairment with dementia and cognitive impairment (MCI/dementia).MethodsUsing participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) dataset with adjudicated incident strokes, we gathered descriptive statistics on the cohort, assessed if vision impairment was present at the time of incident stroke, and classified the impairments as pre-stroke or stroke-related.
