Statin Use Increases the Risk of Depressive Disorder in Stroke Patients: A Population-Based Study
This study aimed to explore the risk for depressive disorder (DD) among stroke patients with statin use. Totally, 11,218 patients who had a first-time acute hospitalization for stroke were identified from Taiwan’s Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000. We individually followed each study subject for a 1-year period to identify those patients who were subsequently diagnosed with DD during the follow-up period. We found that the incidence rate of DD during the 1-year follow-up period was 5.52 (95% CI: 4.70~6.43) and 3.46 (95% CI: 3.08~3.88) per 100 person-years for stroke patients who were statin users and nonusers, respectively.
