Core Tip
Core Tip: This study investigated the effects of nutritional intervention and social support on patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) complicated by cognitive dysfunction. The results showed that the research group, receiving standardized nutritional support (e.g., dietary guidance and supplementation) and social support (e.g., psychological counseling and family involvement), demonstrated significant improvements in cognitive function (measured by Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment), psychological status (reduced Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and nutritional markers (albumin, prealbumin, hemoglobin) compared to the control group. These findings highlight the clinical value of integrated interventions for enhancing recovery in ACI patients.
