This is a prospective study of recovery of aphasia in 19 stroke patients selected from 117 consecutive hospital admissions by virtue of having significant aphasia and surviving 13 weeks. Aphasia was measured using the Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test (FAST) at frequent intervals from early after stroke. A wide variation in speed and extent of recovery was seen, particularly when compared with mean scores. Patients who made the most recovery had started to improve by 40 days post-stroke. An aphasic patient's FAST score at 13 weeks post-stroke could be predicted from his first score (within 2 weeks).
这是一项针对19名中风患者失语症恢复情况的前瞻性研究。这些患者是从117例连续入院患者中挑选出来的，入选标准为患有严重失语症且存活13周以上。自中风后早期开始，就频繁使用法国失语症筛查测试（FAST）对失语症进行测量。结果发现恢复速度和程度差异很大，尤其是与平均分数相比时。恢复程度最大的患者在中风后40天就开始有所改善。一名失语症患者在中风后13周时的FAST分数可以根据其首次分数（在2周内）进行预测。
