<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Subjective memory complaints (SMCs) among stroke patients are common. To date, reports on SMCs using the Subjective Memory Complaint Questionnaire (SMCQ) are limited. We provided descriptive information on SMCs using the SMCQ alongside objective neuropsychological function assessment in stroke patients and established the sensitivity of SMCQ for post-stroke dementia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In total, 419 consecutive stroke patients who were admitted to a stroke unit for younger populations (age &#x3c;65 years) at a rehabilitation hospital from June 1, 2014, to January 1, 2020, were reviewed. SMCs were measured using the SMCQ. Objective neuropsychological function was assessed using protocols of the Vascular Cognitive Impairment Harmonization Standards. <b><i>Results:</i></b> SMCs were significantly correlated with objective neuropsychological functions including memory, executive function, language, and depression. SMCs were not significantly correlated with visuospatial function. The SMCQ exhibited comparable sensitivity to that of Mini-Mental Status Examination for evaluating post-stroke dementia. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The SMCQ may be a valid measure of cognitive function among patients with stroke, is sensitive for post-stroke dementia, and may assume a complementary role for assessing patients with stroke.

Abstract Background Subjective memory complaint (SMCs) is a common trait amongst older population. The subjective cognition about their memory could depend on objective cognition. The aim of the current study was to examine the interaction between subjective memory cognition (i.e., SMC) and objective cognition on cognitive functions in participants from older generation. Methods A total of 219 patients, 181 normal control (NC) patients and 38 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), were examined through standardized and comprehensive clinical evaluation and neuropsychological assessment. The Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire was used to assess SMCs along with five cognitive tasks were used to evaluate cognitive decline over following areas: verbal memory, visuospatial memory, attention, fluency, and language. Results The results of 2 × 2 two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that there were significant interactions between SMCs and cognitive status (NC, MCI) on memory performances. NC with SMCs showed significantly lower performance in verbal memory and visuospatial memory compared to NCs without SMCs. Conversely, no effect was observed in the MCI group. Conclusion There are interactions between subjective cognition (i.e., SMC) and objective cognition (i.e., cognitive status) on memory performances in older adults. The roles of SMCs on memory performances should be interpreted with older adults’ objective cognitive status.
