Low ankle-brachial index and cognitive function after stroke-the PROSpective with Incident Stroke Berlin (PROSCIS-B).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Low ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤0. 9 is a marker for generalized atherosclerosis and a risk factor for cognitive decline in the general population.

Objective

To evaluate the impact of ABI ≤0.9 on cognitive function up to 3 years after first-ever ischemic stroke.

Methods

Data was used from the "PROspective Cohort with Incident Stroke-Berlin" (PROSCIS-B; NCT01363856). ABI was measured at baseline and categorized into normal (1.4-0.9) vs. low (≤0.9). Cognitive function was assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Mini-Mental-State-Examination (MMSE) at baseline and with the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified (TICS-m) at 1-3 years of follow-up. We performed confounder adjusted generalized linear models (GLM) to calculate r
