A prospective cohort study on longitudinal trajectories of cognitive function after stroke

Abstract The study aimed to determine longitudinal trajectories of cognitive function during the first year after stroke. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to screen cognitive function at 36–48 h, 3-months, and 12-months post-stroke. Individuals who shared similar trajectories were c...
