          Abstract

          The aim of this study was to investigate post-stroke depression (PSD) and cognitive impairments in patients with different types of cerebral infarction.

          A total of 110 patients with cerebral infarction treated in our hospital from January 2015 to February 2016 were included in present study. Forty-seven patients were PSD patients and 63 patients were non-PSD patients. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were employed to assess depression and cognition of patients

          Among PSD patients, the proportion of patients with partial anterior circulation infarction (PACI, 68.75%) was significantly higher than patients with lacunar circulation infarction (LACI, 29.17%) and posterior circulation infarction (POCI, 26.67%) ( P < .05). No significant difference was found in PSD patients with LACI and POCI ( P > .05). The MMSE score of patients with PACI (18.05 ± 2.61) was lower than patients with POCI and LACI ( P < .05), however, no significant difference was found in patients with LACI and POCI ( P > 0.05). The incidences of cognitive impairment in patients with PACI, LACI, and POCI were 12.50%, 14.58%, and 13.33%, respectively. The MMSE score of PSD patients (21.23 ± 2.12) was significantly lower than non-PSD patients ( P < .05).

          Compared with LACI and POCI patients, PACI patients had a higher incidence of PSD and impaired cognitive functions. In addition, affective disorders such as depression may be correlated with cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral infarction.

            Post-Stroke Depression: A Review.

            Poststroke depression (PSD) has been recognized by psychiatrists for more than 100 years, but controlled systematic studies did not begin until the 1970s. Meta-analyses addressing almost all major clinical issues in the field have emerged because of the relatively small number of patients included in some stroke studies. In order to build large databases, these meta-analyses have merged patients with rigorously assessed mood disorders with major depressive features with patients scoring above arbitrary cutoff points on depression rating scales, thus missing important findings such as cognitive impairment associated with major but not minor depression. Nevertheless, PSD occurs in a significant number of patients and constitutes an important complication of stroke, leading to greater disability as well as increased mortality. The most clinically important advances, however, have been in the treatment and prevention of PSD. Recent meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials for the treatment of PSD have demonstrated the efficacy of antidepressants. Similarly, randomized controlled trials for prevention of PSD have shown that antidepressants significantly decrease the incidence of PSD compared with placebo. Early antidepressant treatment of PSD appears to enhance both physical and cognitive recovery from stroke and might increase survival up to 10 years following stroke. There has also been progress in understanding the pathophysiology of PSD. Inflammatory processes might be associated with the onset of at least some depressive symptoms. In addition, genetic and epigenetic variations, white matter disease, cerebrovascular deregulation, altered neuroplasticity, and changes in glutamate neurotransmission might be relevant etiological factors. Further elucidation of the mechanism of PSD may ultimately lead to specific targeted treatments.

              Depression and other mental health diagnoses increase mortality risk after ischemic stroke.

              Poststroke depression has been linked to higher mortality after stroke. However, the effect of other mental health conditions on poststroke mortality has not been examined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of poststroke depression and other mental health diagnoses on mortality after ischemic stroke. The authors examined a national cohort of veterans hospitalized after an ischemic stroke at any U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center from 1990 to 1998. Demographic, admission, and all-cause mortality data were abstracted from VA administrative databases. Chronic conditions present at discharge and new poststroke depression and other mental health diagnoses within 3 years after the stroke were identified with ICD-9 codes. Mortality hazard ratios were modeled by using Cox regression models. A total of 51,119 patients hospitalized after an ischemic stroke who survived beyond 30 days afterward were identified; 2,405 (5%) received a diagnosis of depression, and 2,257 (4%) received another mental health diagnosis within 3 years of their stroke. Patients with poststroke depression were younger, more often white, and less likely to be alive at the end of the 3-year follow-up period. Both poststroke depression (hazard ratio=1.13, 95% CI=1.06-1.21) and other mental health diagnoses (hazard ratio=1.13, 95% CI=1.07-1.22) independently increased the hazard for death even after other chronic conditions were controlled. Despite being younger and having fewer chronic conditions, a higher 3-year mortality risk was seen in patients with poststroke depression and other mental health diagnoses after hospitalization for an ischemic stroke. The biological and psychosocial mechanisms driving this greater risk should be further explored, and the effect of depression treatment on mortality after stroke should be tested.
