ABSTRACT

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to a clinical syndrome that occurs after a stroke and meets the diagnostic criteria for cognitive impairment, lasting for more than 6 months, and seriously affecting the daily life of patients. The complement system has been confirmed to be associated with PSCI. This article reviews the correlation between complement system and PSCI, as well as the possibility of complement system as an intervention target for PSCI.
