The four-year prognosis of patients with visuospatial inattention in a stroke register (altogether 255 patients) was studied. Sixty-six surviving patients under the age of 65 were examined neurologically and neuropsychologically after 3 months and 1 year from stroke. Fifty-two of these 66 patients were still reexamined after 4 years from onset. Twelve patients with ischaemic brain infarction had visuospatial inattention: 7 had a clear-cut and contralateral neglect and 5 had milder and less lateralized inattention. The recovery of these 12 patients was poorer in ADL than the other 54 patients. Even when hemiparesis was taken into account, the difference still existed in ADL. The recovery of the 7 neglect patients was poorer than that of the 5 inattention patients. During the follow-up the visuospatial neglect persisted in all 7 cases and the visuospatial inattention disappeared in only one case.
对卒中登记处中存在视觉空间注意力不集中的患者（共255例）的四年预后情况进行了研究。66名65岁以下的存活患者在卒中后3个月和1年接受了神经学和神经心理学检查。这66名患者中有52名在发病4年后仍接受了复查。12名缺血性脑梗死患者存在视觉空间注意力不集中：7名有明确的对侧忽视，5名有较轻且定位不那么明显的注意力不集中。这12名患者在日常生活活动能力（ADL）方面的恢复情况比其他54名患者差。即使考虑到偏瘫因素，在ADL方面差异仍然存在。7名忽视患者的恢复情况比5名注意力不集中患者差。在随访期间，所有7例视觉空间忽视持续存在，只有1例视觉空间注意力不集中消失。
