Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals frequent cognitive impairment following lacunar stroke despite small lesion size, suggesting underlying small vessel disease increases long-term deficits.

Key Points

Determine the incidence and prevalence of cognitive impairment following lacunar stroke and compare these cognitive outcomes across different stroke subtypes.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing cognitive impairment rates following lacunar stroke.
Compared cognitive outcomes after lacunar infarcts against other ischemic stroke subtypes and evaluated the role of associated small vessel disease.
Cognitive impairment occurs frequently following lacunar strokes despite the small anatomical volume of these subcortical lesions.
Underlying cerebral small vessel disease likely compounds neurological damage and amplifies cognitive decline, highlighting the need for prospective studies with precise stroke subtyping.
