Correlates of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: In this racially and ethnically diverse cohort of stroke and TIA survivors, stroke-induced PTSD was associated with younger age, recurrent strokes, greater disability, and comorbidities. PTSD was associated with a substantially increased physical, mental, and quality of life burden in this already vulnerable population. Having social support was protective, suggesting a potential target for intervention.

Rate of Stroke Death after Depression: A 40-year Longitudinal Study Extension of Chichester/Salisbury Catchment Area Study
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the identification of depressive symptoms at younger ages may have an impact on the primary prevention of stroke in later life. The notion that depression has stronger effects over a long period is consistent with a view that severe clinical depression and physical illness occur concurrently, one exacerbating the other, and health is degraded through slow-acting, cumulative processes. Data were unavailable for the type of stroke or the health-risk behaviors (smoking, diet, and so forth) in the cohort which constituted a limitation of the study. Neither is it known what proportion of...

The Spectrum of Aphasia Subtypes and Etiology in Subacute Stroke
Background: Aphasia is one of the most common stroke syndrome presentations, yet little is known about the spectrum of different subtypes or their stroke mechanisms. Yet, subtypes and etiology are known to influence the prognosis and recovery.Aim: Our aim is to analyze aphasia subtypes and etiology in a large subacute stroke population.Methods: Consecutive patients from a dedicated cognitive stroke registry were accrued. A validated cognitive screening examination was administered during the first month of stroke presentation, which enabled a diagnosis of 14 different aphasic subtypes. The evolution from one subtype to ano...

Predictors of Functional Dependency after Stroke in Nigeria
This study examined the risk factors for functional dependency in a group of Nigerian African stroke survivors.Methods: One hundred twenty-eight stroke survivors attending a tertiary general hospital in southwestern Nigeria were consecutively recruited and assessed for functional dependency using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Stroke was diagnosed according to the World Health Organization criteria. Candidate independent variables assessed included the demographic and clinical characteristics of survivors, cognitive dysfunction, and a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Variables with significant relationship to func...

The Long-term Nutritional Status in Stroke Patients and its Predictive Factors
Conclusions: Malnutrition was highly prevalent, with an important role of change in food intake and food preferences, which could result from brain lesions and specific regimens. Living in an institution needs consideration, as its negative effects can be prevented.

Secondary Prevention and Health Promotion after Stroke: Can It Be Enhanced?
The aim was to study if health outcome and secondary prevention were satisfactory 1 year after stroke and if nurse-led interventions 3 months after stroke could have impact. Design was a randomized controlled open trial in a 1-year population. Primary outcome was health status 1 year after stroke. One month after stroke, survivors were randomized into intervention group (IG) with follow-up by a specialist nurse (SN) after 3 months (n = 232), and control group (CG) with standard care (n = 227), all to be followed up 1 year after stroke. At the first follow-up, patients graded their health, replied to the EuroQol-5 ...

Socioeconomic Factors Predicting Depression Differ in the Acute Stage and at 1 year After Ischemic Stroke or TIA
The most prevalent psychiatric complication after stroke is depression. Clinically relevant depressive symptoms appear in about one third of cases after stroke.1,2 The frequency of post stroke depression (PSD) is highest in the first year after stroke.3 In a recent Spanish survey of patients with TIA and minor stroke 43.9 % had post stroke depression (PSD) at 10 days after the cerebrovascular event and 8.6 % of patients had PSD 12 months later.4 Severity of depressive symptoms often changes in the first year after stroke.

Association between physical activity levels and depressive symptoms in patients with minor ischemic stroke
Post-stroke depression (PSD) in stroke patients is a serious sequela. The incidence of depression in stroke patients is approximately 22% –35%.1,2 PSD is associated with serious outcomes, leading to increased risk of mortality and reduced quality of life.3 In addition, a previous study investigating the association between depression and stroke recurrence in ischemic stroke (IS) patients reported that post-IS depression is an indepe ndent risk factor for stroke recurrence.4 Thus, prevention of PSD is important, as this could lead to further adverse functional outcomes after stroke.

Deiodinases, organic anion transporter polypeptide polymorphisms and symptoms of anxiety and depression after ischemic stroke
Mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression, are common after stroke. It was reported, that post-stroke anxiety cumulative incidence reached 57% within the first ten years after stroke was experienced.1 This mental health problem after stroke leads to impaired quality of life1 and poorer activity of daily living.2 Recent meta-analysis established, that the risk of stroke in a person with symptoms of anxiety is even higher compared to the risk of coronary heart disease or heart failure.3 Moreover, anxiety disorder comorbid with symptoms of depression after stroke was associated with increased lethal outcomes.

The Reliability and Validity of Post Stroke Depression Scale in Different Type of Post Stroke Depression Patients
Stroke is the second leading cause of death around the world, and approximately a third of all stroke survivors were have different degree of depression at any time after stroke.1 The repercussions of post-stroke depression (PSD) might cause extend psychological wellbeing, worsen rehabilitation outcomes, even lead to post-stroke mortality.2,3 Therefore, the early detection of PSD is essential to promote the prognosis and avoid unfortunate incidents.

Depression in Stroke Survivors: Ten-Year Follow-Up. Determinants of the Natural Course of Depressive Symptoms in Stroke Survivors in the Netherlands: The SMART-Medea Study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and a major cause of disability, due to impairments in functioning, limitations in activities, and restrictions in societal participation.20 Although these consequences vary widely between stroke survivors, the most common consequences are physical impairments, communication disorders, cognitive and emotional problems, and mood disturbances.13,50 Every year 15 million people suffer from stroke,30 in the Netherlands, 40.000 patients have a stroke each year28 Most stroke patients survive the initial illness and the greatest health effect is usually caused by the long-term consequences.

Depression and Anxiety after Stroke in Young Adult Filipinos
Anxiety and depression are important psychiatric conditions to recognize after stroke.1 Poststroke depression (PSD) has been reported in around one third of stroke patients while poststroke anxiety affects a quarter of stroke patients.2 Depression and anxiety may also co-exist and persist in individuals long after a stroke.3 These complications adversely impact stroke outcome.4,5 Apart from restrictions in social function, they are associated with poorer quality of life, diminished functionality and increased risks of mortality.

Mood and Cognitive Trajectories Over the First Year after Mild Ischemic Stroke
Cognitive and mood dysfunction are major contributors to post-stroke disability. The longer-term trajectories of mood and cognition post-stroke remain unclear, as do which cognitive domains decline, improve, or remain stable after stroke, and in which patients. We aimed to characterize the cognitive trajectories of mild ischemic stroke survivors over one year compared to stroke-free controls, and to investigate whether symptoms of anxiety and depression were associated with cognitive function.

Subjective Cognitive Complaints after Stroke: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: This review highlights that poststroke SCC are highly prevalent and that clinicians should take such complaints seriously. More research is, however, needed to gain further insight into poststroke SCC, to be able to accurately inform patients and relatives, and to develop adequate treatment programs. Based on the limitations of the studies to date, suggestions are made on how both future research and ultimately patient-centered care may be improved in stroke survivors.
