Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between injury site (right or left) or pathological type (hemorrhage or infarct) and atten-tion impairment in post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Methods June, 2014 to June 2015, 49 patients with PSCI were assessed with Test of Attentional Performance (TAP) within 1 week of admission. The reaction time and the numbers of correct response were recorded. Results The reaction time of alertness (with or without alarm) was shorter in the patients with left infarction (Z=-2.32, t=-3.76, P<0.05), and the correct number of auditory was more (Z=2.42, P<0.05) than those with right infarction. The reaction time of incompatibility test and Go/Nogo test was shorter in patients with left hemorrhage than those with right hemorrhage (Z>2.32, t=-3.10, P<0.05). Conclusion A trend of lateralization was found in patients with PSCI, rather than in the pathology.
