Clinical evaluation reveals widespread cognitive deficits in stroke survivors with successful clinical recovery, highlighting that standard MMSE screening misses functional impairments.

Key Points

To determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment across multiple domains using comprehensive neuropsychological assessment in stroke survivors who achieved successful clinical recovery.
Assessed cognitive performance across multiple domains using comprehensive neuropsychological testing in stroke survivors with successful clinical recovery.
Evaluated the diagnostic sensitivity of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) relative to detailed testing and examined relationships with functional outcomes.
Cognitive impairment is prevalent following stroke despite successful clinical recovery, characteristically compromising multiple domains and complex cognitive abilities.
The Mini-Mental State Examination lacks sufficient sensitivity to detect these multi-domain cognitive impairments.
Post-stroke cognitive deficits are strongly associated with poor long-term functional outcomes.
