There is currently no existing freely available short screen for cognitive problems that targets stroke survivors specifically. We have developed a screen, the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS), to be completed in 15-20 min, designed use with patients. To maximize inclusion, test aphasia- and neglect friendly covers domains of cognition where deficits frequently occur after stroke, including apraxia unilateral as well memory, language, executive function, number abilities. Domain-specific scores...
Cognitive assessments after stroke are typically short form tests developed for dementia that generates pass/fail classifications (e.g. the MoCA). The Oxford Screen (OCS) provides a domain-specific cognitive profile designed survivors. This study compared use of MoCA and OCS in acute with respect to symptom specificity aspects clinical utility. A cross-sectional consecutive sample 200 patients within 3 weeks completing OCS. Demographic data, lesion side Barthel scores were recorded....
Abstract Background Cognitive impairment is well recognized in Parkinson's disease (PD), but when it begins to develop unclear. The aim of this study was identify early signs cognitive along with abnormalities saccadic behavior newly diagnosed unmedicated PD patients. Methods Nineteen drug‐naive patients and 20 controls were examined using a battery tests, including an antisaccade task, phonemic semantic verbal fluencies, switching rule finding task. Results With simple tasks, no differences...
<h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the associations between general cognitive impairment and domain-specific with depression anxiety at 6 months poststroke. <h3>Methods</h3> Participants were patients confirmed acute stroke from OCS-Care Study who recruited on wards in a multisite study followed up 6-month poststroke assessment. Depression symptoms assessed by Hospital Anxiety Scale subscales, scores greater than 7 indicating possible mood disorders. General follow-up was using Montreal...
Background: Cognitive screening following stroke is widely recommended, yet few studies have considered the prognostic value of acute domain-specific function for longer-term cognitive outcome. Identifying which post-stroke impairments more commonly occur, recover, and persist, hold value, could inform care planning, resource allocation. Aims: This study aimed to determine prevalence impairment acutely at 6 months, assess proportion change in performance, examine screening. Methods: A...
Preregistration is the act of formally documenting a research plan before collecting (or at least analysing) data. It allows those reading final report to know which aspects study were decided sight data, and added later. This enables informed evaluation severity with scientific claims have been tested. We, as British Neuropsychological Society Open Science Group, conducted survey explore awareness adoption open science practices within our field. Neuropsychology involves relatively rare or...
1. Assess validity of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS-Plus), a domain-specific cognitive assessment designed for low-literacy settings, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC); 2. Advance theoretical contributions neuroscience function reserve, related to dementia.
Visuospatial neglect, whereby patients are unable to attend stimuli on their contralesional side, is a neuropsychological condition commonly experienced after stroke. We aimed investigate whether egocentric and allocentric neglect functionally dissociable differ in prevalence laterality the early poststroke period.A consecutive sample of 366 acute stroke completed Broken Hearts test from Oxford Cognitive Screen. evaluated association between contrasted severity left-sided versus right-sided...
This large-scale lesion-symptom mapping study investigates the necessary neuro-anatomical substrates of 5 cognitive domains frequently affected post stroke: Language, Attention, Praxis, Number, and Memory. aims to demonstrate validity using routine clinical brain imaging standard bedside screening data from a large, real-world patient cohort for mapping. Behavioural Oxford Cognitive Screen neuroimaging 573 acute patients was used in voxel-based analyses. Patients were classed as impaired or...
Infection and inflammation are dementia risk factors in population-based cohorts; however, studies stroke scarce. We determined the prevalence of infection after routinely measured inflammatory biomarkers during hospitalization their associations with acute 6-month cognitive impairment.
The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) was recently developed with the aim of describing cognitive deficits after stroke. scale consists 10 tasks encompassing five domains: attention and executive function, language, memory, number processing, praxis. OCS devised to be inclusive un-confounded by aphasia neglect. As such, it may have a greater potential informative on stroke widely used instruments, such as Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Montreal Assessment, which were originally for...
Objective: We examined the utility of BCoS screen in discriminating cognitive profiles and recovery function across stroke survivors.BCoS was designed for stroke-specific problems 5 domains: controlled spatial attention, language, memory, number processing praxis.Methods: Based on specific inclusion criteria, this cross-section observational study analysed 657 sub-acute patients, 331 them reassessed at 9 months.Impairments 32 measures were evaluated by comparison to 100 matched healthy...
Here, we present the Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus, a computerised tablet-based screen designed to briefly assess domain-general cognition and provide more fine-grained measures of memory executive function. The OCS-Plus was sensitively for cognitive impairments differentiation between deficits. contains 10 subtasks requires on average 24 min complete. In this study, 320 neurologically healthy ageing participants (age M = 62.66, SD 13.75) from three sites completed OCS-Plus. convergent...
Background/Objective. This study aims to investigate how complex visuospatial neglect behavioural phenotypes predict long-term outcomes, both in terms of recovery and broader functional outcomes after 6 months post-stroke. Methods. presents a secondary cohort acute 6-month follow-up data from 400 stroke survivors who completed the Oxford Cognitive Screen's Cancellation Task. At follow-up, patients also Stroke Impact Scale questionnaire. These were analysed identify whether any specific...
Cognitive impairment is common early after stroke but trajectories over the long term are variable. Some survivors make a full recovery, while others retain stable or decline. This study explored perceived advantages and disadvantages of discussing potential cognitive with their family members. Stroke at least six-months post-stroke were purposively sampled from an existing pool research volunteers recruited originally for OCS-Recovery study. They invited, alongside member, to participate in...

Impairments in executive functions are common stroke survivors, both the acute and chronic phase. However, little is known about underlying lesion neuroanatomy of these deficits. This study aimed to elucidate pattern brain damage dysfunction a large cohort. Executive set-switching deficits were evaluated by shape-based analogue Trail Making Test (from Oxford Cognitive Screen) consecutive sample 144 patients (age: 70 ± 15 years, examination: 5 4 days post-stroke; imaging: 1.7 2.9...
Clinical guidelines recommend early cognitive assessment after stroke to inform rehabilitation and discharge decisions. However, little is known about survivors' experiences of the process. This qualitative study aimed explore patients' poststroke assessments.Stroke survivors were purposively sampled in an iterative process through a pool research volunteers who had previously taken part Oxford Cognitive Screen Recovery study. Stroke their family caregivers invited participate semistructured...
Stroke survivors rate longer-term (> 2 years) psychological recovery as their top priority, but data on how frequently consequences occur is lacking. Prevalence of cognitive impairment, depression/anxiety, fatigue, apathy and related outcomes, whether rates are stable in long-term stroke, unknown.
