The need for post-stroke cognitive screening - the rationale behind the Hungarian adaptation of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) and its pilot study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a frequent yet underdiagnosed consequence of stroke, with significant implications for quality of life, functional outcomes and long-term prognosis. Despite its importance, cognitive screening remains insufficiently integrated into post-stroke care protocols, particularly in Hungary. Objective: This study aimed to adapt and pilot the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) for Hungarian stroke patients, addressing the urgent need for a culturally and linguistically appropriate, stroke-specific cognitive screening tool that is freely available in Hungarian. Methods: The Hungarian adaptation followed a rigorous 11-step linguistic validation process, including cultural adaptation, forward and back translations, reviews, and pilot testing. Ten stroke patients at Semmelweis University were assessed using the adapted OCS within three weeks of symptom onset. Data on test performance, feasibility, and patient feedback were collected from 10 pilot patients and 6 examiners. Results: The adaptation and pilot testing process, completed in approximately three months, confirmed the usability of the tool, with most patients finding it engaging. The median number of impaired tasks was two. No major issues arose, and the tool was well received by both patients and examiners. Conclusion: The Hungarian version of the OCS offers a practical, user-friendly cognitive screening tool tailored for stroke patients. Its implementation could enhance early detection of PSCI, improve patient safety by supporting targeted rehabilitation, and ultimately contribute to better long-term outcomes. This initiative represents a foundational step toward integrating cognitive screening into stroke protocols in Hungary, addressing a significant gap in rehabilitation and healthcare equity.
