To determine the interrelationships between baseline MMSE and risk of overall dementia, post-recurrent stroke dementia and dementia without recurrent stroke among patients with a history of stroke. Prospective cohort study among participants enrolled in the Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) for whom baseline Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was available. Baseline MMSE was divided into four categories: 30, 29–27, 26–24, or <24. Participants were followed for incident dementia and recurrent stroke. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between MMSE and dementia. Of the 6080 participants included in this analysis, 2493 had MMSE=30, 1768 had MMSE=29–28, 1369 had MMSE=26–24 and 450 had MMSE<24. Average follow-up time was 3.8 years. There were 407 cases of dementia, 106 of which were preceded by a recurrent stroke. The risk of overall dementia increased with decreasing MMSE score. However, the impact of MMSE on risk of dementia without recurrent stroke was much stronger than the impact of MMSE on the risk of post-recurrent stroke dementia. For those with MMSE<24, the risk of dementia without recurrent stroke was 47.89 (95% CI: 28.57–80.26) while the risk of post-recurrent stroke dementia was only 7.17 (95% CI: 3.70–13.89). Higher MMSE scores were even less strongly associated with the risk of post-recurrent stroke dementia. Stroke patients with low MMSE scores are at high risk of dementia over time, even in the absence of a recurrent stroke, and should therefore be followed closely for further cognitive decline.
