  • Stroke is a major public health issue worldwide because of the high risk of unavoidable disability leading to a noteworthy burden of the patients themselves, the families and the society [1]

  • Those heterogeneous risk factors have been reported as haemorrhagic stroke [17], lobar location of a parenchymal haemorrhage [18], occurrence of aphasia, multiple strokes [2], demographic characteristics, or presence of known vascular risk factors [2]. n a study that recruited patients with different subtypes of strokes, cognitive function as indicated the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was significantly impaired 6 months following the initial insult, and MMSE performance in post-stroke patients, 87% as ischemic of them, was significantly worse than that of the nonstroke control group [19]
