Sex Differences in Poststroke Cognitive Impairment: A Multicenter Study in 2343 Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Sex was not associated with PSCI occurrence but affected domains differed between men and women.

These sex differences need to be considered when screening for and diagnosing PSCI in clinical practice.
