Yes, we've known of post stroke depression for years. QUIT TELLING US IT EXISTS AND JUST FUCKING SOLVE IT BY PREVENTION! Will no one in stroke take responsibility for solving and preventing post stroke depression? LEADERS SOLVE PROBLEMS!
You prevent it by having 100% recovery protocols.
Your patients will be too busy counting reps and looking
forward to recovery. This was totally useless, I'd have you all fired.
In-Hospital Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety are Strong Risk Factors for Post-Stroke Depression 90 Days After Ischemic Stroke
Abstract
Background and Purpose
Acute
ischemic stroke (AIS) and depression are the major causes of disability
and decreased quality of life worldwide. Psychiatric disorders are
common after stroke, especially post-stroke depression (PSD), which
affects one-third of survivors. Although frequent, little is known about
the real complexity of the pathophysiology and the factors associated
with PSD.
Methods
This
research aimed to provide data about risk factors and predictors of PSD
90 days after AIS. A cohort study was conducted in a tertiary stroke
center located in southern Brazil. We interviewed 148 patients with AIS
who were consecutively hospitalized between January 2020 and January
2021. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was applied
during hospitalization and at follow-up 90 days after AIS. Furthermore,
sociodemographic, clinical, and radiological variables were
investigated. Predictive factors were assessed using univariate and
multivariate linear regression. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
the data was also evaluated.
Results
The
frequency of PSD 90 days after AIS was 33.9%. In-hospital symptoms of
depression and anxiety each represented a 2-fold risk for PSD at
follow-up. Furthermore, the HADS – anxiety score 90 days after AIS was
strongly associated with the HADS – depression value 90 days after
stroke (R: .71; B: .56; P < .01).
Conclusions
The
present study highlighted a noteworthy frequency of PSD 90 days after
AIS. Psychiatric variables during hospitalization and in the follow-up
appeared to be the leading associated factors with PSD. These data might
support the determination of which patients require more psychiatric
management.(You blithering idiots! What's needed is 100% recovery protocols! GET THERE! This problem wouldn't exist if you did what survivors want, get them fully recovered!)
