Factors associated with depression after mild acute ischaemic stroke in the elderly and their predictive value
Objective To examine the risk factors and predictive value of depression following mild acute ischemic stroke in elderly individuals.The aim is to enhance early identification and intervention,ultimately leading to improved prognosis.Methods A case-control study was conducted on 988 elderly patients with mild acute ischemic stroke.The study collected general population and social data,as well as clinical laboratory data such as blood glucose,blood lipids,and AD7C-NTP in urine.Additionally,the patients underwent assessments using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA),National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NHISS),Barthel index(BI),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD).Based on the HAMD depression scale score,the patients were divided into a nopost-stooke depression(NPSD)group and a post-stooke depression(PSD)group.The study then analyzed the related risk factors and predictive value of PSD.Results A total of 988 patients were eligible for inclusion,with 132 being excluded and 856 being included.The NPSD and PSD groups showed significant differences in age,hypertension,smoking history,education level,and stroke history(all P＜0.05).Regarding clinical data,there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in total cholesterol(TC),triacylglycerol(TG),HDL,urinary AD7C-NTP,MoCA,and HAMA scores(all P＜0.05).The results of the multi-factor logistic regression analysis revealed that gender(OR=1.975,95％CI:1.223-3.190,P=0.005),stroke history(OR=1.352,95％CI:0.877-2.086,P=0.042),and HAMA score(OR=1.216,95％CI:0.932-1.526,P=0.043)were identified as independent risk factors for post-stroke depression in the elderly.Conversely,MoCA score(OR=0.873,95％CI:0.814-0.937,P＜0.001)was found to be an independent protective factor.Furthermore,the ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the HAMA score(AUC=0.892,sensitivity:0.721,specificity:0.854,cut-off value:9.5)exhibited significant predictive value,while the other indexes had limited predictive value.Conclusions Gender,stroke history,and HAMA score have been identified as potential independent risk factors for post-stroke depression(PSD)in the elderly,while MoCA score may serve as an independent protective factor.Notably,HAMA score demonstrates a strong predictive ability for PSD.Early identification of these factors and timely intervention could significantly contribute to improving prognosis.
