| Primary outcome measure: Quality of life The main purpose of this present study is to asses the relation between cognitive functioning and quality of life. To asses the multi-dimensional character of quality of life we used two different measures, the first measure is an illness-specific questionnaire, namely the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL). The second measure is a generic measure for subjective well-being, the Life Satisfaction 9 (LiSat9), which contains 1 question about general satisfaction about life and eight questions about satisfaction of specific domains. Both measures will be used as outcome measures | — |

Each domain will be represented by a domainscore. Besides that an overall score of cognitive functioning will be created for each patient.
