Factors associated with multidimensional aspect of post-stroke fatigue in acute stroke period.

CONCLUSIONS: PSF was highly prevalent in the acute phase, and specific factors including lesion location (right side lesion, thalamic and brainstem lesion), anxiety, and depression were independently associated with multidimensional aspects of PSF. Further study is needed to elucidate how specific structural lesions and anxiety symptoms relate to the development of early fatigue following stroke. PMID: 28483068 [PubMed - in process]
