- Original description
Some patients develop cognitive decline after a stroke, but we don't always understand the mechanisms. It has been proposed that a proportion of the patients develop an autoimmune immune response, and that this could potentially explain the cognitive decline in some of the patients. The current study aims to investigate this hypothesis in a subgroup of patients with stroke.Read full original descriptionShow less
The Immune Response to Stroke
Some patients develop cognitive decline after a stroke, but we don't always understand the mechanisms. It has been proposed that a proportion of the patients develop an autoimmune immune response, and that this could potentially explain the cognitive decline in some of the patients. The current study aims to investigate this hypothesis in a subgroup of patients with stroke.
Inclusion: Stroke < 72 h; Age > 18 years.
Exclusion: Previous or present immunological disease or other serious comorbidity; Brain hemorrhage verified by CT or MRI scan; Ongoing immune respons after infection or vaccination < 1 month; Cognitive without ability to understand and/or give an informed consent to participate in the study.
