Clock Drawing Test in acute stroke and its relationship with long-term functional and cognitive outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Performance on the CDT in acute stroke is related to long-term outcomes including patients' degree of independence in performing activities of daily living, the degree to which they achieved reintegration into daily occupations, and the degree of cognitive decline observed one-year post-stroke. Future studies are needed to clarify the nature of the relationship between different CDT scoring systems and post-stroke outcomes. PMID: 29985104 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
