Depression after stroke and risk of mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Conclusions. Despite some limitations, this paper confirms the potential role of depression on post stroke mortality. The relationship between depression and mortality after stroke seems to be related to the followup duration. Further research is needed to clarify the nature of the association between depression after stroke and mortality. PMID: 23533964 [PubMed]
