Profile and determinants of vascular cognitive impairment in African stroke survivors: The CogFAST Nigeria Study

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, Volume 346, No. 1-2, Year 2014

Objective Sub-Saharan Africa faces a potential epidemic of non-communicable diseases including stroke and dementia but little is known about the burden of stroke-related cognitive dysfunction. We assessed the baseline profile and factors associated with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in stroke survivors participating in the Cognitive Function After STroke (CogFAST) Nigeria Study.
