Prevalence and natural history of depression after stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

ConclusionsIn this study, we observed that stroke survivors with early-onset depression (within 3 months after stroke) are at high risks for remaining depressed and make up two-thirds of the incident cases during 1 year after stroke. This highlights the need for ongoing clinical monitoring of patients depressed shortly after stroke. Trial RegistrationPROSPERO CRD42022314146.
