Description
Delirium after a stroke is a severe complication, and it may deepen the thinking problems that strokes already cause. Lena Geiger and eight co-authors followed stroke patients in a 2026 conference report, testing cognition in the acute phase and again three months later.
Thirty-one patients took a multi-part digital test battery on an app. Patients who had delirium scored clearly worse on overall cognition at three months than stroke patients without delirium. Attention and processing speed, plus executive function, showed the largest gaps. The delirium group also reached good functional outcomes less often. The authors argue that separating delirium's added harm from the stroke itself matters for planning recovery care.
