Readmissions for Depression and Suicide Attempt following Stroke and Myocardial Infarction

Conclusions: IS was associated with greater hazard of readmission due to depression compared to MI. Patients with a history of depression, smoking, and alcoholism were more likely to be readmitted with depression, while advanced age and discharge home were protective. It is unclear to what extent differences in type of ischemic tissue damage and disability contribute, and further investigation is warranted.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2020;10:94 –104
