title: Mild cognitive impairment and vascular cognitive impairment in stroke patients.
abstract: In 150 older stroke patients (>75) without dementia, the proportion of people meeting different criteria for early cognitive impairment varied from 17% to 23% depending upon the individual criteria used. Given this large disparity, prospective studies to clarify the utility of different criteria as a predictor of subsequent dementia are a priority.
