Abstract

In a recent issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Zinman et al. investigated the role of sex in the risk of cognitive impairment in 5,969 patients with a stroke or transient ischemic attacks. Using a short validated clinical screening tool, they noted that men had a 34% higher risk of screening positive for post-stroke cognitive impairment after adjusting for age, education, and stroke severity compared to women. This study highlights that more large, prospective, and multicenter studies are needed to evaluate sex-specific changes after a stroke since sex differences exist in many aspects of stroke presentation and management.
