BRIEF COGNITIVE and DELIRIUM ASSESSMENTS in STROKE PATIENTS

The aim of the project is to validate the ALBA and PICNIR tests for the easy detection of memory and speech disorders in patients after a stroke. Patients, after their first stroke, with the possibility of initial clinical evaluation within 24 hours of admission to the Neurology Clinic ICU, will undergo a neurological examination, cognitive tests using the ALBA and PICNIR tests, delirium tests using the CAM-ICU and ICDSC tools, and a speech therapy test using the MASTcz tool. If possible, these will be conducted simultaneously in one half-day. A similar structured examination will take place within five days, with a tolerance of one day. Upon demonstrating utility, doctors will be able to utilize the very brief ALBA and POBAV methods for detecting memory and speech disorders in post-stroke patients in clinical practice.
