Depression after minor stroke: the association with disability and quality of life – a 1‐year follow‐up study
ConclusionsPost‐stroke depression was independently associated with disability and poor QoL at 1 year after first‐ever minor ischemic stroke. Recovery from PSD decreased but did not eliminate the adverse impacts of PSD on outcomes of minor stroke.

Are stroke survivors with delirium at higher risk of post‐stroke dementia? Current evidence and future directions
ConclusionsThere is a need for further studies to investigate the association of post‐stroke delirium and dementia using well‐defined cohorts of patients and controlling for factors such as pre‐stroke cognition, stroke severity and location and the presence of persistent delirium. Such studies will help understand the place of delirium identification and prevention in reducing the risk of dementia after stroke. © 2016 The Authors International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd

Delayed atrophy in posterior cingulate cortex and apathy after stroke
ConclusionsThe present study suggests that delayed atrophic change is evident in the PCC 6 months after a stroke. There was greater apathetic change in the stroke patients with the larger volume reductions. The delayed atrophy of the PCC may reflect degeneration secondary to neuronal loss due to stroke. Such degeneration might have impaired control of goal‐directed behavior, leading to the observed increase in apathy. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The relationship between high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein at admission and post stroke depression: a 6‐month follow‐up study
ConclusionElevated Hs‐CRP serum levels at admission was found to be associated with depression 6‐month after stroke, suggesting that these alterations might participate in the pathophysiology of depression symptoms in stroke patients. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The association of a heart attack or stroke with depressive symptoms stratified by the presence of a close social contact: findings from the National Health and Aging Trends Study Cohort
ConclusionsOlder adults have increased odds of having depressive symptoms following a self‐reported stroke, but only those with no close social contacts had increased odds of depressive symptoms following a heart attack. Social networks may play a role in the mechanisms underlying depression among older adults experiencing certain acute health events. Future work exploring the potential causal relationships suggested here, if confirmed, could inform interventions to alleviate or prevent depression among at risk older adults.

Pain among institutionalized stroke patients and its relation to emotional distress and social engagement
ConclusionsPain is a serious and multidimensional problem among institutionalized stroke patients. It is related to increased ED, which in turn can be a pathway to low SE as an indicator of social vulnerability. Future research should reveal how pain management in nursing homes can be tailored to the needs of this patient group. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Cognitive assessment in stroke: feasibility and test properties using differing approaches to scoring of incomplete items
ConclusionsFor cognitive screening in stroke, even relatively brief tools are associated with substantial incompletion. The way these missing data are accounted for in analyses impacts on apparent test properties. When choosing a cognitive screening tool, feasibility should be considered and approaches to handling missing data made explicit. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Effects of modified 8 ‐week reminiscence therapy on the older spouse caregivers of stroke survivors in Chinese communities: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe use of a modified 8‐week reminiscence therapy in this study sample improved the life satisfaction of stroke survivors and their spouse caregivers, improved the positive experience of caregivers, and decreased the burden of caregivers.

The relation between insulin ‐like growth factor 1 levels and risk of depression in ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe data showed that low serum IGF‐1 levels at admission are associated with a high risk of developing PSD, suggesting that these alterations might be involved in the pathophysiology of depression symptoms in stroke patients.

Converting MMSE to MoCA and MoCA 5 ‐minute protocol in an educationally heterogeneous sample with stroke or transient ischemic attack
ConclusionWe provided 2 methods to convert scores from the MMSE to MoCA and MoCA‐5 min based on a large sample of patients with stroke or TIA having a wide range of education and cognitive levels. The converted scores differentiated patients with cognitive impairment after stroke or TIA with high accuracy.

Neuroanatomic pathways associated with monoaminergic dysregulation after stroke
ConclusionsMonoaminergic neuronal pathways are controlled by both receptor‐mediated feedback mechanisms and turnover; thus, depletion of monoamines is not the only cause of depression and apathy. Moreover, the monoamine neuronal network might be divided into two branches, catecholamine (NA and DA) and 5‐HT, both of which are anatomically and functionally interconnected and could respectively influence apathetic and affective symptoms of depression.

Psychosocial problems associated with depression at 18 months poststroke
ConclusionsMultiple regression models indicated that the most determining features for developing PSD at 18 months poststroke include reduced activity and relationship problems due to stroke. Further studies on risk factors for PSD are essential, including psychosocial aspects, given its negative impact on rehabilitation and quality of life. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
