Abstract WP324: POST-STROKE CHECKLIST AS SCREENING TOOL TO DETECT COGNITIVE DISORDERS AND ITS IMPACT IN THE DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES

Cognitive impairment is a frequent but often under-recognized complication after stroke, contributing substantially to long-term disability worldwide. Despite its clinical relevance, the actual prevalence of stroke-related cognitive dysfunction remains unknown. We aimed to assess the self-perceived prevalence of cognitive impairment among stroke survivors using a simple structured follow-up tool.: Consecutive ischemic stroke patients enrolled in the TRUSTROKE (Trustworthy AI for improvement of stroke Outcomes) European-granted project were included after acute hospitalization. Patients discharged home or to a rehabilitation center were followed up by an occupational therapist/physiotherapist acting as case manager through a communication tool based on a smartphone app or phone calls (NORA, Figure 1). A substudy was conducted across three participating hospitals focusing on cognitive complications identified through the Post-Stroke Checklist (PSC). Over an 8-month period, 233 out of 420 patients completed the PSC at
