Post-stroke cognitive impairment and fatigue in patients with white matter hyperintensities. A prospective cohort study
These findings highlight the association between WMH, lower processing speed on the SDMT test in the acute stroke phase, and higher fatigue post-stroke. We propose that the WMH burden should be considered in all patients admitted with stroke or transient ischemic attack to identify those at increased risk of post-stroke cognitive impairment and fatigue.
