Objective: To observe and learn the current status of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in ischemic stroke inpatients. By evaluating the level of cognitive function in ischemic stroke inpatients

and analysing its influential factors. Method: The level of cognitive function in ischemic stroke inpatients was evaluated with the montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)

analysing its influential factors were analysed. Result: Thirty-one cases of VCI were found in 43 cases of ischemic stroke inpatients

accounting for 72.1%

including 13 cases of VaD patients

accounting for 30.23% of all subjects. Which has positive correlation with the level of education. Conclusion: There is a big proportion of cognitive impairment in ischemic stroke patients. It is necessary giving more adequate attention to the status. MoCA is an useful tool in assessing cognitive function evaluation with ischemic stroke inpatients

it can be used for screening VCI patients in ischemic stroke inpatients.
