The trajectory of cognitive function over the first-year post-stroke is heterogenous. Baseline cognitive function ∼3.6 months post-stroke is a good predictor of long-term cognitive outcome. Older age, lower levels of education, diabetes, large artery strokes, and greater stroke severity are risk factors for lower cognitive performance over the first year.
