dc.description.abstract | Background: The number of patients with cognitive impairment following stroke is increasing
due to the rise in the number of stroke survivors. Health authorities highlight the need for
prediction and early diagnostics. The aims of this study were to investigate if balance and mobility
may predict cognitive impairment 1 year after stroke. Methods: The participants were
patients with first-ever stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The exclusion criteria were
pre-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia. Measurements of balance comprised the Berg
Balance Scale (BBS) and the Figure of Eight test (Fig8). Mobility was measured by maximum
walking speed and the Timed Up and Go test. Dementia and mild cognitive impairment were
merged into a main outcome: cognitive impairment. Unadjusted and adjusted multivariate
logistic regression models were performed. Results: One hundred and eighty subjects performed
balance and mobility measures at baseline, and 158 participated in the follow-up; 13
died and 9 did not complete the follow-up. Two variables made a significant contribution in
the adjusted analyses (Fig8, BBS). The strongest predictor of cognitive impairment was Fig8
with an odds ratio of 1.06. Conclusion: The results of Fig8 and BBS measured in the acute
phase of stroke were predictors of cognitive impairment 1 year later in this cohort of firstever
stroke or TIA. | en_US |
