Can we prevent poststroke cognitive impairment? An umbrella review of risk factors and treatments by Clare Flach, Abdel Douiri, Vibhore Prasad, Majed Obaid, Iain Marshall

“…From 18 SRs of interventional trials, we found that interventions including physical activity or cognitive rehabilitation were enhancing cognitive function, while the certainty of the other interventions was rated low, due to limited methodological quality.Conclusions This review represents common risk factors related to poststroke cognitive impairment, in particular atrial fibrillation, and points to different interventions that warrant attention in the development of treatment strategies. Physical activity and cognitive rehabilitation interventions showed evidence of enhancing cognitive function; however, we could not recommend a change in practice yet, due to lack of strong evidence.PROSPERO registration number CRD42018096667.…”
