“…Subjective assessment. To quantify the apathetic state subjectively, we used the Japanese version of the Apathy Scale (AS) (Starkstein et al, 1992;Okada et al, 1998). The AS consists of 14 questions concerning spontaneity, initiation, emotionality, activity level, and interest in hobbies.…”

“…The most reliable results were obtained at a cutoff score of 16 points. The sensitivity of the AS has been reported to be 81.3%, and the specificity 85.3% (Okada et al, 1998).…”

“…We classified the patients into 2 groups according to their apathy scores: an apathetic group (≥16 points) and a non-apathetic group (<16 points). The cutoff point was determined on the basis of a previous report on Japanese stroke patients, and the scale displayed a high reliability (p = 0.96, p <0.0001, n = 20) and validity (sensitivity 81.3%, specificity 85.3%) with a cutoff point of 16 [28]. Other cognitive functions were evaluated by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [30], the Hasegawa dementia rating scale revised (HDS-R) [31], the frontal assessment battery (FAB) [32], and the self-rating depression scale (SDS) [33].…”

Background: Although apathy has been reported as one of the neuropsychiatric symptoms following stroke, there are few studies on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in stroke patients with apathy. The present study compared rCBF between apathetic and non-apathetic patients after stroke. Methods: We recruited 102 patients with cerebral infarction within 1 month after stroke and performed neuropsychiatric assessments that included the apathy scale. rCBF was quantitatively measured using N-isopropyl-p-¹²³I-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission computed tomography. Results: Thirty-seven patients (36%) had apathy. The apathetic group showed lower cognitive function and a higher depressive state than the non-apathetic group. rCBF in the basal ganglia was reduced for the apathetic group compared with the non-apathetic group. Furthermore, lesions in the left basal ganglia were associated with hypoperfusion in bilateral basal ganglia and the presence of apathy. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that apathy is a frequent symptom among stroke patients and that hypoperfusion caused by basal ganglia lesions may contribute to post-stroke apathy.
