Description

Jordan Harp and six co-authors lay out the design of a study hunting blood markers that predict thinking problems after stroke, in this 2025 methodology paper. A quarter to a third of stroke patients develop lasting cognitive impairment, yet clinicians cannot tell in advance who will. Their population, drawn seventy percent from Appalachia in the US Stroke Belt, is underserved and understudied.

The INDICATE study is prospectively enrolling 225 patients treated with thrombectomy for a large-vessel blockage. Arterial blood drawn during the procedure, and vein blood afterward, will be tracked against cognition, function, and social factors from three months to two years. The plasma panel covers Alzheimer's-related and inflammatory proteins. Earlier work from the team's registry found inflammation markers at procedure time that predicted later impairment; this study validates them in a broader sample with sharper cognitive measures.
