Background: Post-stroke depression is common, yet little is known about factors associated with antidepressant use in this population Methods: Data from the multicenter, prospective Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke-Longitudinal (AVAIL) registry was used to identify patients with post-stroke depression and to describe factors associated with antidepressant use. The analysis was performed after 3 months in 1751 ischemic stroke patients who had been admitted to 97 hospitals nationwide; 12 month follow-up was available for 1637 patients. The Get with the Guidelines-Stroke database was used to collect baseline data. Patients were classified as depressed based on a self-report scale (the Patient Health Questionnaire-8; score range 0 to 24, score ≥10 indicating depression). Frequencies were compared with Pearson X 2 and unadjusted ORs were calculated. Results: The prevalence of post stroke depression was similar at 3 and 12 months (19% [331/1751] vs 17% [280/1637], respectively, p=0.17). Regardless of depression status, antidepressant use was higher at 12 months (16% [287/1751] vs 20% [334/1637], p=0.002). Antidepressant use was also higher at 12 months in depressed patients (25% [84/331] vs 35% [98/280], p=0.009). The odds of antidepressant use at 3 months was higher in women than men (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1), Whites vs. Blacks (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.8), in patients with vs. without cognitive deficits (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1) and in those with more severe disabilities (mRS≥3 vs. mRS<3, OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.3). Use did not vary with educational level, marital status, living situation, medication insurance coverage, or stroke recurrence. Similar trends were present at 12 months, except with higher use in those with recurrent stroke or TIA (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4-3.1). Conclusion: Three-quarters of depressed stroke patients at 3-months and nearly two-thirds at 12 months were not receiving antidepressants. Regardless of depression status, utilization of antidepressants after 3 and 12 months varied based on gender, race/ethnicity, cognitive status, disability level, and after 12-months, stroke recurrence. The reasons for the apparent underuse of antidepressants in patients with prevalent post-stroke depression require further study.

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of long term disability and second leading cause of death worldwide. The effectiveness of primary and secondary prevention of stroke by antihypertensive medications is well validated, however, support for permissive hypertension in the early course of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been questioned. Materials and methods: We searched Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify RCTs comparing different blood pressure reduction regimens with placebo in AIS patients within 48 hours after symptom onset and sample size of 100 or more patients. We excluded studies that do not report mortality or functional outcomes at the end of follow up. The main outcomes were all-cause mortality and death or severe morbidity which was defined as: modified Rankin Score >2 or Bartel ADL index<60, Glasgow outcome scale3, Mathew Impairment Scale <14. Relative risks (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effect model. Results: In our analysis we included 20 trials involving 17,209 patients. There was no difference in all-cause mortality RR 1.04 (95% CI 0.95-1.13), p=0.4 nor in mortality or severe disability RR 1.03 (95% CI 0.99-1.08), p=0.16 between active blood pressure reduction and permissive hypertension strategy. There was no evidence of heterogeneity between studies for both outcomes I 2 =2.6% and I 2 =14.1% , p for heterogeneity =0.42 and =0.27, respectively. Conclusion: Use of antihypertensive therapy in acute period of ischemic stroke does not have an effect on disability or all-cause mortality.

Introduction: Post-stroke depression (PSD) occurs in approximately one-third of ischemic stroke patients. However, there is conflicting evidence on sex differences in PSD. Objective: We sought to assess sex differences in risk and time course of PSD in US ischemic stroke (IS) patients. We hypothesized that women are at greater risk of PSD than men, and that a greater proportion of women experience PSD in the acute post-stroke phase. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 100% de-identified data for US Medicare beneficiaries ≥65 years admitted for ischemic stroke from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. We calculated Kaplan-Meier unadjusted cumulative risk of depression, stratified by sex, up to 1.5 years following index admission. We performed Cox regression to report the hazard ratio (HR) for diagnosis of depression up to 1.5 years post-stroke in males vs. females, adjusting for patient demographics, comorbidities, length of stay, and acute stroke interventions. Results: Female stroke patients (n=90,474) were 20% more likely to develop PSD than males (n=84,427) in adjusted models. Cumulative risk of depression was consistently elevated for females throughout 1.5 years of follow-up (0.2055 [95% CI 0.2013-0.2097] vs. 0.1690 [95% CI 0.1639-0.1741] (log-rank p<0.0001). HR for PSD in females vs. males remained significant in fully adjusted analysis at 1.20 (95% CI 1.17-1.23, p<0.0001). Conclusions: Over 1.5 years of follow-up, female stroke patients had significantly greater hazard of developing PSD, highlighting the need for long-term depression screening in this population and further investigation of underlying reasons for sex differences.

Objective:We sought to comprehensively evaluate predictors of PSD in the US and compare PSD to post-myocardial infarction (MI) depression, in order to determine whether ischemic stroke (IS) uniquely elevates risk of depression.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study of 100% de-identified inpatient, outpatient, and subacute nursing Medicare data from 2016-2017 for US patients aged ≥65 years from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. We calculated Kaplan-Meier unadjusted cumulative risk of depression up to 1.5 years following index admission. We performed Cox regression to report the hazard ratio for diagnosis of depression up to 1.5 years post-stroke vs. MI, and independent predictors of PSD, and controlled for patient demographics, comorbidities, length of stay and acute stroke interventions.Results:In fully adjusted models, stroke patients (n=174,901) were ∼50% more likely than MI patients (n=193,418) to develop depression during the 1.5-year follow-up period (Kaplan-Meier cumulative risk 0.1596±0.001 in stroke patients versus 0.0973±0.000778 in MI patients, log-rank p<0.0001). History of anxiety was the strongest predictor of PSD, while discharge home was most protective. Female patients, White patients, and patients younger than 75 years were more likely to be diagnosed with depression post-stroke.Conclusions:Despite the similarities between MI and stroke, patients who suffer from stroke were significantly more likely to develop depression. There were several predictors of post-stroke depression, most significantly history of anxiety. Our findings lend credibility to a stroke-specific process causing depression and highlight the need for consistent depression screening in all stroke patients.
