Apathy and Outcome after Stroke Study
This study determined group and individual changes in apathy symptomatology from the acute phase until one year after stroke. The study also examined the association of apathy and depression with disability and quality of life one year after stroke. A total of 200 ischemic stroke patients were recruited from three acute stroke units in the East of England, United Kingdom, between February 2017 and November 2020. Participants underwent assessments at 4 time points: baseline, 30 days, 6, and 12 months after stroke.
