High Prevalence of Social Cognition Disorders and Mild Cognitive Impairment Long Term After Stroke.

Purpose: Social cognition disorders after stroke are poorly described. Yet, rehabilitation difficulties are frequent after stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of social cognition disorders 3 years after a first-ever stroke and to assess the factors associated with this condition.

Association between Admission Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Functional Outcome of Thrombolyzed Stroke Patients.

Background: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency is a frequent condition in patients who suffer a stroke, and several studies suggested that it may be associated with a poorer prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate specifically the association between 25(OH)D levels and functional outcome at 3 months in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.

Methods: Consecutive ischemic stroke patients who received intravenous thrombolysis were enrolled between 2010 and 2013.

iScore for predicting institutional care after ischemic stroke: a population-based study.

Background: We assessed whether the iScore could predict the need for poststroke institutional care.

Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke living in Dijon, France, were recorded between 2006 and 2011, using a population-based stroke registry. The iScore was calculated for each patient.
