Effect of stroke severity on post-stroke dementia (PSD)

The Oxford Vascular Study was a prospective study which recruited 92,728 people between 2002–2012, living in Oxford, UK, and followed them for up to 10 years.¹ Among the sample, 1,617 experienced a stroke and 688 experienced transient ischaemic attack, and were included in the analysis.¹ As shown on the slide, the incidence of dementia after stroke appeared to increase according to the severity of the stroke.¹
