Association of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D with Symptoms of Depression After 6 Months in Stroke Patients.
Abstract Our aim was to determine whether there was a relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] D) and post-stroke depression (PSD). Two hundred and forty-four ischemic stroke patients admitted to the hospital within the first 24 h after stroke onset were consecutively recruited and followed up for 6 months. Clinical information was collected. Serum 25[OH] D levels were measured at baseline. Based on the symptoms, diagnoses of depression were made in accordance with DSM-IV criteria for depression at 6-month after stroke. At 6-month, 91 patients (37.3 %) showed depression and in 60 patients (24.6 %) this...

Serum Levels of High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein at Admission Are More Strongly Associated with Poststroke Depression in Acute Ischemic Stroke than Homocysteine Levels
Abstract Inflammatory processes have fundamental roles in depression. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) and homocysteine (HCY) at admission to the presence of poststroke depression (PSD). From December 2012 to December 2013, first-ever acute ischemic stroke patients who were admitted to the hospital within the first 24 h after stroke onset were consecutively recruited and followed up for 6 months. Serum levels of Hs-CRP and HCY were tested at admission. Based on the symptoms, diagnoses of depression were made in accordance with DSM-IV...

Elevated Serum Levels of Neopterin at Admission Predicts Depression After Acute Ischemic Stroke: a 6-Month Follow-Up Study
Abstract Inflammation and cell-mediated immune activation are attributed to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology in depression. Our aim was to test the possible association between serum levels of neopterin and the development of post-stroke depression (PSD) in Chinese patients. The subjects were first-ever acute ischemic stroke patients who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University during the period from December 2012 to December 2013. Clinical information and stroke severity were collected at admission. Neurological and neuropsychological evaluations were conducted at the ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 4666: Predictors of Adherence to Lifestyle Recommendations in Stroke Secondary Prevention
Blake The risk of recurrent vascular events is high following ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Unmanaged modifiable risk factors present opportunities for enhanced secondary prevention. This cross-sectional study (n = 142 individuals post-ischaemic stroke/TIA; mean age 63 years, 70% male) describes adherence rates with risk-reducing behaviours and logistical regression models of behaviour adherence. Predictor variables used in the models com-prised age, sex, stroke/TIA status, aetiology (TOAST), modified Rankin Scale, cardiovascular fit-ness (VO2peak) measured as peak oxygen uptake during increment...

Determinants of post-stroke depression among stroke survivors at University of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: a case-control study
Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability among adults. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent neuropsychiatric complication in stroke patients. Despite the increasing prevalence of stroke, the...

Community reintegration in stroke survivors: Relationship with motor function and depression
This study explored the association of community reintegration with motor function and post-stroke depression (PSD). Ninety community-dwelling stroke survivors with mean age of 58.3 ± 7.8 years participated in this study. Participants were 56 men and 34 women attending the physiotherapy clinics of selected hospitals in southwestern Nigeria. Motor function was assessed using the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS), PSD by the Hamilton Depression Scale, and community reintegration by the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI). The mean RNLI, MAS, and PSD scores were 57.3 ± 23.5, 34.9 ± 10.9, and 9.4 ± 4.8, respecti...

Effects of a 4‐week transitional care programme for discharged stroke survivors in Hong Kong: a randomised controlled trial
This study was a randomised controlled trial conducted to test the effectiveness of a transitional care programme (TCP) which was a nurse‐led 4‐week programme designed based on the assessment–intervention–evaluation Omaha System framework. Between August 2010 and October 2011, 108 stroke patients who were discharged home, able to communicate, and had slight to moderate neurological deficits and disability were randomised into control (n = 54) and intervention groups (n = 54). Data on the patient‐related and clinical outcomes were collected at baseline, 4 weeks when the TCP was completed and 8 weeks after di...

Integrative medicine for subacute stroke rehabilitation: a study protocol for a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial
Introduction Many patients with stroke receive integrative medicine in China, which includes the basic treatment of Western medicine and routine rehabilitation, in conjunction with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The question of whether integrative medicine is efficacious for stroke rehabilitation is still controversial and very little research currently exists on the integrated approach for this condition. Consequently, we will conduct a multicentre, randomised, controlled, assessor-blinded clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of integrative medicine on stroke rehabilitation. Methods and analysis 360 participants...

Changes and predictors of psychological stress among elderly stroke survivors 6  months after hospital discharge
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyse the changes in psychological stress and identify its basal predictors among elderly stroke survivors after 6 months following discharge from hospital to home directly, rather than to a rehabilitation facility. The sample comprised 50 elderly stroke survivors. Data were collected at 2 weeks (T1), at 3 months (T2), and at 6 months (T3) after hospital discharge. The following instruments were applied: Perceived Stress Scale—10 items (PSS‐10), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, Functional Independence Measure, and Geriatric Depression Scale—15 items. Study records...

Preliminary Screening Recommendations for Patients at Risk of Depression and/or Anxiety more than 1 year Poststroke
Goal: Depression and anxiety are important complications of stroke but are underdiagnosed in community settings. The current study identified which patients were at increased risk of developing either disorder more than1 year poststroke to assist in targeted screening. Methods: Crosssectional survey of 147 adults who had a stroke more than 1 year ago were recruited from stroke advocacy/support groups and an outpatient register. Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and reported whether they had emotional problems as a stroke inpatient (single item: yes/no).

Encouraging self-feeding in patients on a stroke ward.
Authors: Abstract Up to half of people who have had a stroke are dependent on others to eat effectively. This can lead to reduced food intake, poor nutrition, reduced body weight and depression. Lower resistance to infection can also result in lengthy hospital stays. Some patients do not ask for the assistance they need to eat because they want to maintain a sense of self-worth. Traditionally, acute stroke interventions to improve eating function have taken a biomedical approach but this action research study focused on the development of individual, multiprofessional feeding care plans.
