Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of the patients with post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods208 cases of patients with stroke were analyzed retrospectively. Results and ConclusionThe PSD occurred more frequently within the first month but less on the first week (P<0.001). The incidence of PSD was higher in female than in male (P<0.001).Frontal, temporal, parietal cortices lesion significantly increased the incidence of the PSD compared with in other area(P<0.01). The more severely the neural function was damaged, the higher the incidence of the PSD was. The muscle strength of patients with PSD recovered poorer than those without PSD. There was significant difference in the incidence of the PSD between the middle age group and aged group (P<0.01).
