You might very well need this, assuming your doctor is up-to-date on stroke research and is creating protocols to prevent your dementia. Also assumes your doctor even knows of your need for this.
Your chances of getting dementia.
1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.
3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.

Efficacy and safety of lanabecestat for treatment of early and mild Alzheimer disease: The amaranth and daybreak-ALZ randomized clinical trials
JAMA — Wessels AM, Tariot PN, Zimmer JA, et al. | February 17, 2020
Researchers investigated whether
lanabecestat slows the progression of Alzheimer disease (AD) compared
with placebo in patients with early AD (mild cognitive impairment) and
mild AD dementia. They performed two multicenter, global, double-blind
studies at 257 and 251 centers in 15 and 18 countries or territories,
respectively. AMARANTH included 2,218 randomized participants, of whom
539 individuals completed the study. DAYBREAK-ALZ included 1,722 (30.2%)
randomized participants, of whom 76 individuals completed the study. In
all, the researchers found that although lanabecestat was generally
well tolerated, it did not slow cognitive or functional decline in
individuals with early or mild AD dementia.
