Population-based cohort examines post-stroke cognitive impairment and health-related quality of life, highlighting inequalities in disadvantaged groups.

Key Points

The study aims to investigate how ethnic and socioeconomic factors contribute to post-stroke cognitive impairment and quality of life.
Population-based cohort of 7,714 adults with stroke, stratified by ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES).
Multivariable regression analyses assessed associations between ethnicity/occupation and cognitive impairment or HRQOL at 3 months and 5 years post-stroke.
Evaluated prevalence of cognitive impairment and HRQOL improvements over time.
At 3 months, cognitive impairment was significantly higher in Black Caribbean (OR 2.49) and Black African groups (OR 2.44) and those with lower SES (OR 1.69).
Physical HRQOL was lower for Black Caribbean (-2.20, P=0.003), Black African (-1.97, P=0.013), and lower SES participants (-1.74, P<0.001).
5-year cognitive impairment showed no significant trend, but 3-month HRQOL improved for White (P=0.02) and higher-SES participants (P=0.04).
