This study aims to compare cognitive impairment and recovery in ischaemic stroke patients with and without diabetes mellitus over 90 days.
Longitudinal follow-up study with 401 ischaemic stroke patients (167 with diabetes, 234 without)
Cognitive assessment using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale at baseline and 90 days post-stroke
Linear mixed-effects model used to analyze cognitive recovery trajectories.
Baseline MoCA scores showed lower scores in diabetes patients (β = -1.36, p = 0.065) indicating greater impairment
MoCA scores improved significantly in both groups from baseline to 90 days (β = 6.13, p < .001)
No significant interaction between diabetes and time indicating comparable recovery trajectories.
