Does baseline cognitive impairment increase the risk of future stroke?
Does baseline cognitive impairment increase the risk of future stroke?
Baseline cognitive impairment serves as a significant risk marker for future stroke, particularly ischemic and fatal events.
Cognitive screening may refine stroke risk stratification in practice; reinforces this association via meta-analysis of observational data.
Baseline cognitive impairment was associated with a significantly higher risk of future stroke, especially ischemic and fatal stroke.
