abstract = {Stroke survivors frequently experience subsequent cognitive
impairment or dementia. We aimed to identify risk factors
for post-stroke dementia (PSD) and cognitive impairment
(PSCI) within 5 years after stroke.The DEMDAS (German Center
for Neurological Diseases (DZNE) mechanisms of dementia
after stroke) study is a prospective cohort of stroke
patients admitted to six German tertiary stroke centres
between May 1, 2011 and January 31, 2019. Eligible
dementia-free patients with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke
underwent baseline examinations and regular clinical,
neuropsychological, and neuroimaging follow-ups over 5
years, with the last follow-ups completed in January 2024.
PSD was the primary outcome, determined by comprehensive
cognitive testing, patient and informant interviews, and
review of medical records. The secondary outcomes were
early-onset PSD (3-6 months), delayed-onset PSD (>6 months),
and PSCI. Associations between baseline risk factors and PSD
were assessed using Cox regression models adjusted for age,
sex, education, and stroke severity.Of 736 patients (245
$[33\%]$ female, mean age 68·0 years [SD 11·2], median
admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)
3 [IQR 1-5]), 557 $(76\%)$ were followed up until death or
the end of the study, and 706 $(96\%)$ contributed to the
PSD analysis. During a median of 5·0 years [IQR 3·3-5·1]
of follow-up, 55 new dementia cases were diagnosed (6-month
incidence: $3·1\%$ [1·8-4·5], 5-year incidence: $8·8\%$
[6·5-11·1]), of which 21 $(38\%)$ were classified as
early-onset PSD. The 5-year risk of PSD was associated with
older age (HR 1·13 $[95\%$ CI 1·08-1·18] per year),
higher stroke severity (1·08 [1·03-1·13] per point on
NIHSS), lower educational attainment (1·16 [1·05-1·28]
per year), acute phase cognitive impairment (5·86
[2·21-15·58]), lower Barthel Index (1·10 [1·05-1·16]
per 5 points less), atrial fibrillation (1·91
[1·10-3·30]), metabolic syndrome (MetS, 2·05
[1·15-3·64]), particularly reduced high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, 2·61 [1·50-4·52]) and
pre-/diabetes mellitus (2·13 [1·13-4·00]), imaging
markers of small vessel disease, and stroke recurrence
during follow-up (2·36 [1·16-4·83]). Patients who
received acute reperfusion treatment had a $65\%$ lower risk
of PSD than those who did not (0·35 [0·16-0·77]). While
factors related to the severity of the index stroke were
more strongly associated with early-onset PSD, MetS showed a
stronger association with delayed-onset PSD. The association
between MetS and PSD was independent of stroke recurrence
and consistent across age subgroups, with 5-year cumulative
incidence ranging from $1·7\%$ (0·0-4·0) in patients
≤65 years without MetS to $24·5\%$ (14·3-33·4) in
patients ≥74 years with MetS.The risk of dementia after
stroke is multifactorial, with differing risk profiles for
early-onset and delayed-onset PSD. Metabolic syndrome,
including reduced HDL-C, emerged as a novel risk factor and
potential target for PSD prevention.German Center for
