BackgroundThe Perth Community Stroke Study (PCSS) was a population-based study of the incidence, cause, and outcome of acute stroke.MethodSubjects from the study were assessed initially, by examination and interview, and at four- and 12-month follow-ups to determine differences in prevalence of depression between the sexes and between patients with first-ever and recurrent strokes.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive illness four months after stroke in 294 patients from the PCSS was 23% (18–28%), 15% (11–19%) major depression and 8% (5–11 %) minor depression. There were no significant differences between the sexes or between patients with first-ever and recurrent strokes. With a non-hierarchic approach to diagnosis of those with depression, 26% of men and 39% of women had an associated anxiety disorder, mainly agoraphobia. Nine per cent of male and 13% of female patients interviewed had evidence of depression at the time of the stroke. Twelve months after stroke 56% of the men were still depressed (40% major and 16% minor), as were 30% of the women (12% major and 18% minor).ConclusionThe prevalence of depression after stroke was comparable with that reported from other studies, and considerably less than that reported from in-patient and rehabilitation units.

Hunt Study

Some data indicate that migraine with aura (MA) is more strongly associated with anxiety disorder and depression than migraine without aura (MoA), but the evidence is not conclusive. In the Nord-Trøndelag Health study 1995-1997, a total of 49 205 (75% of the participants) subjects gave valid answers to both HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and a validated headache questionnaire. Associations between anxiety disorder/depression and MA/MoA were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis. Depression (DEP) [odds ratio (OR) 1.7; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2, 2.6] and depression with comorbid anxiety disorder (COM) (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.2, 2.1) were more likely in women having MA than in those with MoA. No stronger association was found for pure anxiety disorder (ANX) in MA vs. MoA (OR 0.9; 95% CI 0.7, 1.5). Among men, we found no difference in prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders between MA and MoA. This is a new finding that might have relevance for both research and clinical treatment.

Symptom Profiles

BackgroundThe co-occurrence of panic disorder and major depression in the same individual is common. A question to be answered is whether the comorbid disorder is a distinct one or may resemble one or other disorder. In this paper we examine whether the comorbid disorder is a distinct condition.MethodWe examined the symptom profiles and rates of comorbidity of panic attacks and DIS/DSM–III major depressive disorder in a population-based sample from four sites of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Epidemiologic Catchment Area Program (n= 12 668).ResultsThe co-occurrence of panic attacks and major depression over the lifetime was 11 times higher than expected by chance (OR = 11.4, 95% CI 9.5 to 13.6). Subjects with both panic and depression had worse symptoms than those who had only one disorder. However, the pattern of symptoms was remarkably similar, after overall severity was taken into account. Depressive symptoms associated with more severe forms of depression (e.g. guilt, suicidal thoughts or attempts, and motor disturbance) were more frequent in the comorbid group.ConclusionsThese findings may indicate a worse severity when the two disorders occur in the same individual.

We previously published rates of pediatric stroke using our population-based Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Stroke Study (GCNK) for periods July 1993–June 1994 and 1999. We report population-based rates from 2 additional study periods: 2005 and 2010. We identified all pediatric strokes for residents of the GCNK region that occurred in July 1, 1993–June 30, 1994, and calendar years 1999, 2005, and 2010. Stroke cases were ascertained by screening discharge ICD-9 codes, and verified by a physician. Pediatric stroke was defined as stroke in those <20 years of age. Stroke rates by study period, overall, by age and by race, were calculated. Eleven children died within 30 days, yielding an all-cause case fatality rate of 15.7% (95% confidence interval 1.1%, 26.4%) with 3 (27.3%) ischemic, 6 (54.5%) hemorrhagic, and 2 (18.2%) unknown stroke type. The pediatric stroke rate of 4.4 per 100 000 in the GCNK study region has not changed over 17 years.

25 Hydroxyvitamin D

Although there is evidence that vitamin D deficiency may play a role in depression, studies done on the associations have yielded mixed results. The present study aimed to examine the associations between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the presence of depression among US adults. A cross-sectional, population-based sample (including 3916 participants aged ≥ 20 years) from the 2005–6 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used. Participants' depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 diagnostic algorithm. The associations of 25(OH)D and PTH with depression were explored using multivariate logistic regression models. For all the participants, the age-adjusted prevalence was 5·3  (95 % CI 4·3, 6·5) % for having moderate-to-severe depression, 2·3  (95 % CI 1·7, 3·1) % for having major depression and 3·8  (95 % CI 3·0, 4·6) % for having minor depression. Although the age-adjusted prevalence and the unadjusted OR of having moderate-to-severe depression or major depression decreased linearly with increasing quartiles of 25(OH)D (P < 0·05 for trends), no significant associations remained after adjusting for multiple potential confounders such as demographic variables, lifestyle factors and coexistence of a number of chronic conditions. Neither the age-adjusted prevalence nor the OR (unadjusted or adjusted) of having depression differed significantly by the quartiles of PTH. Thus, in contrast to some of the previous findings, the present results did not show significant associations between serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and PTH and the presence of moderate-to-severe depression, major depression or minor depression among US adults. However, these findings need to be further confirmed in future studies.
