Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction after stroke is an important concern. We explored the utility of everyday abilities scale for India (EASI) for screening for dementia among young stroke survivors.Methods: We interviewed 150 young stroke survivors and caregivers. Vascular dementia was diagnosed according to American Heart Association-American Stroke Association (ASA-AHA) criteria. EASI was administered to all caregivers. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the area under the curve and optimum cut-points for EASI for the identification of dementia.Results: Median EASI scores among subjects with dementia (n=35; 23.3%) was 2 (interquartile range: 0-4) and significantly different from those without (median: 0; interquartile range: 0-1; P<0.001). The area under the curve was 0.768 (95% confidence interval: 0.674-0.863), and at the optimum cut-point of 2 on EASI, a sensitivity of 60% and specificity of 91.3% was achieved for the identification of dementia.Conclusion: EASI appears to be a promising tool to screen for dementia among young stroke survivors.
