The aim of this 4-year follow-up study was to find out how often dementia appears after stroke in unselected material. All patients younger than 65 years (52) still alive 4 years after stroke in a stroke register (total 255 patients) were studied neurologically and neuropsychologically. Three patients with brain infarction filled the criteria for mild dementia. This is more than was to be expected. All 3 demented patients could be classified as multi-infarct dementia. The findings concerning dementia are discussed.
这项为期4年的随访研究旨在查明在未经挑选的病例中，中风后痴呆症的出现频率。对中风登记册中所有65岁以下且中风4年后仍存活的患者（共255例）进行了神经学和神经心理学研究。3例脑梗死患者符合轻度痴呆的标准。这比预期的要多。所有3例痴呆患者均可归类为多发梗死性痴呆。文中对有关痴呆症的研究结果进行了讨论。
