Predictors of neurocognitive outcome in pediatric ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke

In conclusion, lesion size and socioeconomic status predict neurocognitive outcome following pediatric stroke. An improved understanding of predictors is valuable to clinicians who have responsibilities related to neuropsychological assessment and treatments for this population. Findings should inform clinical practice through enhanced appraisals of prognosis and the use of a biopsychosocial approach when conceptualizing neurocognitive outcome and setting up support services aimed at fostering optimal development for youth with stroke.PMID:37204222 | DOI:10.1080/09297049.2023.2213461
