Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether simple, evidence-based clinical screening be quickly and feasibly implemented (\>85% of patients in an average of \<6 minutes) in large-volume urgent transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke clinics to identify individuals at high risk for the three most common and devastating post-stroke co-morbidities (depression, obstructive sleep apnea and cognitive disorders).

Conditions

Transient Ischemic Attack; Stroke; Depression; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Cognitive Impairment

  This outcome is defined as the number of DOC patients that took 5 minutes or less to complete the DOC Screening Form

  Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• DOC Screen Diagnostic Characteristics compared to Gold Standard Research Assessments

  Average 7 weeks

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
