Abstract Background Fasting C-peptide (FCP) has been shown to play an important role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders including depression and schizophrenia, but it is unknown whether it also predicts post-stroke depression (PSD). This study examined the association between FCP and PSD at 6 months after acute ischemic-stroke onset among Chinese subjects. Methods A total of 656 stroke patients were consecutively recruited from three hospitals of Wuhan city, Hubei province. Clinical and laboratory data were collected on admission. PSD status was evaluated by DSM-V criteria and 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) at 6 months after acute ischemic stroke. The χ2-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and t-test were used to check for statistical significance. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore independent predictor of PSD. Results In the univariate analysis, significant differences were found between the PSD and non-PSD groups in terms of FCP level (p = 0.009). After multivariate adjustments, FCP remained a significant independent predictor of PSD, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.179 (95%CI: 1.040–1.337, p = 0.010). Conclusions Higher FCP levels on admission were found to be associated with PSD at 6 months after acute ischemic-stroke onset. For stroke patients, doctors should pay attention to the baseline FCP for screening high-risk PSD in clinical practice.

Post Stroke Depression

Post-stroke depression (PSD) affects approximately one-third of stroke patients. PSD not only impairs recovery and lowers quality of life, but has also serious neurological consequences, high mortality, and stroke recurrence risks. Studies on PSD-related prognostic factors are still lacking, especially environmental factors. Moreover, relieving factors after PSD in stroke patients has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate (study design 1) risk factors for PSD diagnosis after three months, and (study design 2) related factors for the relieving of early PSD after three months. This retrospective study included 227 patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke within three days at Jeonbuk National University Hospital from January to December 2019. The depressive status was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) at admission and after three months. Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed for relevant prognostic factors. (Study design 1) HDRS score at admission (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14–1.31; p < 0.001) and hospitalization period (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.02–1.20; p = 0.013) were confirmed as prognostic factors of PSD after three months. (Study design 2) The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at discharge (aOR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68–0.94; p = 0.006) and HDRS score at admission (aOR 0.80, 95% CI 0.71–0.89; p < 0.001) were confirmed as prognostic factors of depression improvement after three months. In conclusion, environmental factors such as hospitalization period could be important in managing PSD. Factors related to PSD improvement are expected to be helpful in establishing a strategy for PSD recovery.

Poor Outcome

Background: Recanalization of the occluded artery is a powerful predictor of good outcome in acute ischemic stroke secondary to large artery occlusions. Mechanical thrombectomy with stent-trievers results in higher recanalization rates and better outcomes compared to previous devices. However, despite successful recanalization rates (Treatment in Cerebral Infarction, TICI, score ≥ 2b) between 70 and 90%, good clinical outcomes assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤ 2 is present in 40-50% of patients . We aimed to evaluate predictors of poor outcomes (mRS > 2) despite successful recanalization (TICI ≥ 2b) in the acute stroke patients treated with the Solitaire device of the North American Solitaire Stent Retriever Acute Stroke (NASA) registry. Methods: The NASA registry is a multicenter, non-sponsored, physician-conducted, post-marketing registry on the use of SOLITAIRE FR device in 354 acute, large vessel, ischemic stroke patients. Logistic regression was used to evaluate patient characteristics and treatment parameters for association with 90-day mRS score of 0-2 (good outcome) versus 3-6 (poor outcome) within patients who were recanalized successfully (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction or TICI score 2b-3). Univariate tests were followed by development of a multivariable model based on stepwise selection with entry and retention criteria of p < 0.05 from the set of factors with at least marginal significance (p ≤ 0.10) on univariate analysis. The c-statistic was calculated as a measure of predictive power. Results: Out of 354 patients, 256 (72.3%) were successfully recanalized (TICI ≥ 2b). Based on 90-day mRS score for 234 of these patients, there were 116 (49.6%) with mRS > 2. Univariate analysis identified increased risk of mRS > 2 for each of the following: age ≥ 80 years (upper quartile of data), occlusion site other than M1/M2, NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 18 (median), history of diabetes mellitus (DM), TICI = 2b, use of rescue therapy, not using a balloon-guided catheter (BGC) or intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA), and time to recanalization > 30 minutes (all p ≤ 0.05). Three or more passes was marginally significant (p=0.097). In multivariable analysis, age ≥ 80 years, site other than M1/M2, initial NIHSS ≥18, DM, absence of IV t-PA, use of rescue therapy and three or more passes were significant independent predictors of poor 90-day outcome in a model with good predictive power (c-index = 0.80). Conclusions: Age, occlusion site, high NIHSS, diabetes, not receiving IV t-PA, use of rescue therapy and three or more passes, were associated with poor 90-day outcome despite successful recanalization.

Long Term Mortality

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) were predictive of mortality in elderly and considered as a putative marker for risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Stroke patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) require anticoagulation, which increases the risk of hemorrhages. We investigated association of CMBs with the long term mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients with NVAF. Methods: During 6 years , consecutive ischemic stroke patients who had NVAF and who had undergone brain MRI with a gradient-recalled echo sequence were enrolled. Long-term mortality and causes of death were identified using data from Korean National Statistical Office. Survival analysis was performed whether the presence, number and location of CMBs were related with all causes, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality during follow-up. Results: Total 506 patients were enrolled during the study period and were followed up for median 2.5 years. CMBs were found in 30.8% of patients (156/506). Oral anticoagulation with warfarin was prescribed at discharge in 477 (82.7%) patients. During follow up, 177 (35%) patients died and cerebrovascular death was noted in 93 patients (81 ischemic stroke and 12 hemorrhagic stroke). After adjusting age, sex and significant variables in univariate analysis (p<0.1), multiple CMBs (≥5) were the independent predictor for all-cause, cardiovascular and ischemic stroke mortalities. The strictly lobar CMBs were associated with hemorrhagic stroke mortality in multivariate Cox regression analysis (HR 4.776, p=0.032) (Figure 1). Conclusions: Multiple CMBs were the independent predictor for the long term mortality in stroke patients with NVAF. Among them, patients with strictly lobar CMBs had a high risk of death due to hemorrhagic stroke. Our findings suggest that detection of CMBs in stroke patients with NVAF are of clinical relevance for predicting long term outcome and that particular concern is necessary in those with strictly lobar CMBs for their increased risk of death due to hemorrhagic stroke.

Antidepressant Use

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.

Risk Of Hemorrhage

Background: Selecting patients most likely to benefit (MLTB) from intra-arterial therapy (IAT) is essential to assure favorable outcomes after intervention for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Leukoaraiosis (LA) has been linked to infarct growth, risk of hemorrhage after IV rt-PA, and poor post-stroke outcomes. We investigated whether LA severity is associated with AIS outcomes after IAT. Methods: We analyzed consecutive AIS subjects from our institutional GWTG-Stroke database enrolled between 01/01/2007-06/30/2009, who met our pre-specified criteria for MLTB: CTA and MRI within 6 hours from last known well, NIHSS score ≥8, baseline DWI volume (DWIv) ≤ 100 cc, and proximal artery occlusion and were treated with IAT. LA volume (LAv) was assessed on FLAIR using validated, semi-automated protocols. We analyzed CTA to assess collateral grade; post-IAT angiogram for recanalization status (TICI score ≥2B); and the 24-hour CT for symptomatic ICH (sICH). Logistic regression was used to determine independent predictors of good functional outcome (mRS≤ 2) and mortality at 90 days post-stroke. Results: There were 48 AIS subjects in this analysis (mean age 69.2, SD±13.8; 55% male; median LAv 4cc, IQR 2.2-8.8cc; median NIHSS 15, IQR 13-19; median DWIv 15.4cc, IQR 9.2-20.3cc). Of these, 34 (72%) received IV rt-PA; 3 (6%) had sICH; 21 (44.7%) recanalized; and 23 (50%) had collateral grade ≥3. At 90 days, 15/48 (36.6%) were deceased and 15/48 had mRS≤ 2. In univariate analysis, recanalization (OR 6.2, 95%CI 1.5-25.5), NIHSS (OR 0.8 per point, 95%CI 0.64-0.95), age (OR 0.95 per yr, 95%CI 0.89-0.99) were associated with good outcome, whereas age (OR 1.1, 95%CI 1.01-1.14) and HTN (OR 5.6, 95%CI 1.04-29.8) were associated with mortality. In multivariable analysis including age, NIHSS, recanalization, collateral grade, and LAv, only recanalization independently predicted good functional outcome (OR 21.3, 95%CI 2.3-199.9) and reduced mortality (OR 0.15, 95%CI 0.02-1.12) after IAT. Conclusions: LA severity is not associated with poor outcome in patients selected MLTB for IAT. Among AIS patients considered likely to benefit from IAT, only recanalization independently predicted good functional outcome and decreased mortality.
