Active surveillance leads to higher rates of early symptom detection of non-motor LCAS in young stroke survivors.Implications for rehabilitationYoung stroke survivors frequently have late complications after stroke (LCAS) that impair return to pre-stroke responsibilities.Active surveillance for LCAS symptoms with a semi-structured interview increases detection of non-motor late complications.A bundled approach to screening for LCAS symptoms is pragmatic as a majority of young stroke survivors have at least one symptom but no single symptom is present in all stroke survivors.
