Background: Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) occurs in about 60% of patients with stroke in the first year after stroke. However, the question regarding risks of recurrent stroke and mortality in patients with PSCI remains controversial. The goal of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of published literature to estimate the risks of stroke recurrence and mortality associated with PSCI.

The goal of this study was to compare the secondary stroke prevention effect of pioglitazone against placebo in patients with versus without PSCI.
Methods: We studied patients enrolled in the Insulin Resistance Intervention after Stroke (IRIS) trial with a post-stroke modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS) cognitive assessment (mean time of assessment: 79 days post-stroke).
