Predicting the Emergence of Major Neurocognitive Disorder Within Three Months After a Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Background: Neurocognitive disorder (NCD) is common after stroke, with major NCD appearing in about 10% of survivors of a first-ever stroke. We aimed to classify clinical- and imaging factors related to rapid development of major NCD 3 months after a stroke, so as to examine the optimal composition of factors for predicting rapid development of the disorder. We hypothesized that the prediction would mainly be driven by neurodegenerative as opposed to vascular brain changes. Methods: Stroke survivors from five Norwegian hospitals were included from the "Norwegian COgnitive Impairment After STroke" (Nor-COAST) study. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was trained to distinguish between patients who developed major NCD 3 months after the stroke and those who did not. Pote
