Abstract
AIM: This study examined variations in management of cognitive impairment post-stroke among occupational therapists and factors associated with variations in practice. METHODS: Canada-wide cross-sectional telephone survey. Clinicians' practices were examined using standard patient cases (vignettes). SETTING: Acute care, inpatient rehabilitation and community-based sites providing stroke rehabilitation in all Canadian provinces. PARTICIPANTS: Occupational therapists (n=663) working in stroke rehabilitation as identified through provincial licensing bodies. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Type and frequency of cognition-related problem identification, assessment and intervention use. RESULTS: Respectively, 69%, 83% and 31% of occupational therapists responding to the acute care, inpatient rehabilitation and community-based vignettes recognised cognition as a potential problem. Standardised assessment use was prevalent: 70% working in acute care, 77% in inpatient rehabilitation and 58% in community-based settings indicated using standardised assessments: 81%, 83% and 50%, respectively, indicated using general cognitive interventions. CONCLUSION: The Mini-Mental State Examination was often used incorrectly to monitor patient change. Executive function, a critical component of post-stroke assessment, was rarely addressed. Interventions were most often general (e.g. incorporated in activities of daily living) rather than specific (e.g. cueing, memory aids, computer-based retraining).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
