| Abstract | Background: In low- and middle-income countries, Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment (PSCI) is the least investigated stroke complication that clinically is given little attention. Finding patients who are at high risk for continuing cognitive problems after a stroke could allow for targeted follow-up and help with prognosis discussions, which would then contribute to improved treatment outcomes. The main aim of this study was to determine the incidence and predictors of PSCI among stroke survivors in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: The study was a multicenter prospective cohort study. The study participants were 403 stroke survivors who were alive after three months of stroke onset and on follow-up at the neurology department of three hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia. To investigate the link between the outcome and the explanatory variables, analyses of bivariable and logistic multivariable regression were performed. A p-value of 0.05 or less was regarded as statistically significant and data were presented as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results: The mean age of the participants was 61.3 years (SD=0.7), 56% were females, the mean time from symptom onset to hospital arrival was 46 hours (SD=3.32), and the mean National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was 14.79 (SD=0.25). PSCI was observed in 122 (30.3%) after ninety days of stroke onset that is 83 (20.6%) of female and 39 (9.7%) of male stroke survivors. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed PSCI was independently associated with age (adjusted OR= 1.04, 95% CI=1.061-1.981), Females (AOR=1.390, 95% CI=1.221-2.690), admission modified rankin scale (mRS) (AOR=1.629, 95% CI=1.381-2.037), moderate Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score (AOR=1.149, 95% CI=1.402-3.281), and poor GCS score (AOR=1.632, 95% CI=1.610-4.361) and stage one (AOR=1.428, 95% CI=1.198-2.922) and stage two hypertension (AOR=1.255, 95% CI=1.107-2.609). Conclusion: Nearly one-third of stroke survivors developed PSCI. Moreover, further research is needed with a larger sample size, showing time trend and longer follow-up duration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
