Li Ji

Abstract

Objective: To discuss the risk factors of depression in acute stroke patients. Methods: Three hundred and fifty-seven acute stroke patients were enrolled. The risk factors such as age, sexuality, previous stroke, former depression, stroke severity, disability and recognition deficit were analyzed. Results: Of all the patients, 100 cases(28.01%, depression group) were diagnosed of depression, 257 cases(71.99%, no-depression group) without depression. The NIHSS scores, age and proportion of previous depression in the depression group were higher than those of no-depression group(P0.05). Logistic analysis indicated that age, history of depression and NIHSS scores were associated with depression(P0.05). Conclusion: Depression is common in the acute stoke patients, emphasis and early treatment are essential.
