Abstract

Background: Vascular dementia is one of the severe consequences of cerebral stroke, causing disability and reducing the quality of life of patients. Early detection and control of risk factors will reduce the incidence of dementia after stroke and help with rehabilitation. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and some related factors of post‐stroke dementia. Materials and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 124 stroke patients ≥18 years old treated at the Neurology Department at Can Tho Central General Hospital from April 2021 to February 2023. All patients in the study underwent clinical examination and were assessed for Mini-Mental State Examination test (MMSE) (at admission and at 3 month after stroke). Poststroke dementia was diagnosed at 3 month after stroke according to the DSM-V criteria. Results: The prevalence of post‐stroke dementia is 37.9%. Post-stroke dementia was significantly associated with factors such as: age, loss of work ability, lower level of secondary school education, smoking, recurrent stroke, cortical strategic lesions, multifocal brain lesions. Conclusion: Post‐stroke dementia accounts for a high prevalence. Factors such as age, loss of work ability, lower level of education, smoking, recurrent stroke, cortical strategic lesions, multifocal brain lesions may be risk factors for post-stroke dementia.
