Cognitive function in stroke survivors: A 10‐year follow‐up study

Post‐stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) has considerable impact on patients and society. However, long‐term studies on PSCI are scarce and may be influenced by assessment methods and selection bias. We aimed to (i) assess the prevalence of long‐term PSCI; (ii) compare two common cognitive assessment instruments; and (iii) compare cognitive function of long‐term stroke survivors with non‐stroke persons.
