Abstract

Objective: Cognitive deficits are commonly observed after stroke and have been associated with the cognitive decline and development of dementia in later stages.

Methods: In this register-based longitudinal study, data were retrieved from three Swedish registers between November 2014 and June 2019. Information on subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) was collected from the Riksstroke 3-month follow-up form, which were used to analyze the primary outcomes.

Results: Of the 1977 patients included in the study, 58% were males, the median age was 73 years, and 63% had a minor stroke. A total of 60% of patients had impaired cognition at acute stroke units (MoCA score,
