Harnod T, et al. - Using a subset of the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, researchers examined the link between post-stroke dementia (PSD) and risk of mortality. Participants included patients aged 40 years and older who received a stroke diagnosis between 2000 and 2012. These patients were classified into PSD and post-stroke non-dementia (PSN) cohorts, and propensity score (PS) matching was used. An increased subsequent mortality rate was observed in patients with PSD vs those without PSD. Moreover, patients with PSD had increased average hospital days and frequency of medical visit.
