Results of comprehensive geriatric assessment in patients aged over 65 years with a history of stroke: subanalysis of the EVKALIPT study

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Despite the achievements of modern medicine, stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability. Frailty is highly prevalent among patients with stroke history. According to the literature, frailty is identified in a quarter of patients, while pre-frailty is observed in about half of them. However, there is a lack of studies assessing the geriatric status of patients with a history of stroke.
