Key result
Major VCD and impaired processing speed are linked to unemployment after young ischemic stroke.
Why the study?
Is cognitive performance in the subacute phase after ischemic stroke in young adults associated with unemployment?

In young adults with first-ever ischemic stroke, major cognitive impairment and reduced processing speed in the subacute phase are associated with subsequent unemployment.
INTRODUCTION: Limited data exist on cognitive performance and return to work after ischemic stroke, especially in patients under 50 years. We investigated whether cognitive performance in the subacute phase after ischemic stroke in young adults was associated with unemployment and the inability to retain their jobs among those who returned to work. PATIENTS AND Cognitive performance and other predefined characteristics were chosen to identify factors associated with unemployment and, among patients who returned to work, the inability to maintain employment. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In young patients after a first-ever ischemic stroke, major VCD and impaired processing speed in the subacute phase after stroke were independently associated with unemployment, but not with the inability to maintain employment.

Schellekens et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Ischemic stroke. Major vascular cognitive impairment (VCD) and impaired processing speed was evaluated on Unemployment and inability to maintain employment (p=0.004). Major VCD and impaired processing speed in the subacute phase after a first-ever ischemic stroke in young adults were independently associated with unemployment (P=0.004).
