Abstract
Neurological disorders are one of the leading causes of disability globally. Studies emphasise that the course and effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions may be influenced by emotional factors. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with neurological disorders and examine whether depression and tendency to respond with anxiety are predictors of disability in these patients. The study included 229 individuals with neurological disorders aged over 55. Our findings show that stroke patients are more likely to experience depressive symptoms and are more likely to display trait anxiety as compared with patients with other neurological disorders. Advanced age, female sex, low level of education and the presence of trait anxiety are associated with a higher severity of depressive symptoms. Stroke survivors have significantly poorer ECOG performance scores and are more likely to be incapable for work. Both depression and trait anxiety are significant predictors of neurological patients' performance status, and the presence of depressive symptoms is a determinant of these patients' level of satisfaction with life. An understanding of psychological risk factors for poorer performance status in individuals with neurological disorders will make it possible to plan prophylactic interventions in order to minimise negative health impacts and facilitate access to mental health facilities.

Abstract
Acquired brain injury (ABI), such as traumatic brain injury and stroke, is a leading cause of disability worldwide, resulting in debilitating acute and chronic symptoms, as well as an increased risk of developing neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. These symptoms can stem from various neurophysiological insults, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, imbalances in neurotransmission, and impaired neuroplasticity. Despite advancements in medical technology and treatment interventions, managing ABI remains a significant challenge. Emerging evidence suggests that psychedelics may rapidly improve neurobehavioral outcomes in patients with various disorders that share physiological similarities with ABI. However, research specifically focussed on psychedelics for ABI is limited. This narrative literature review explores the neurochemical properties of psychedelics as a therapeutic intervention for ABI, with a focus on serotonin receptors, sigma-1 receptors, and neurotrophic signalling associated with neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neuroinflammation. The promotion of neuronal growth, cell survival, and anti-inflammatory properties exhibited by psychedelics strongly supports their potential benefit in managing ABI. Further research and translational efforts are required to elucidate their therapeutic mechanisms of action and to evaluate their effectiveness in treating the acute and chronic phases of ABI.

Abstract
Objective To analyse the influencing factors of anxiety, disease uncertainty and acute stress response in patients with acute ischaemic stroke, and to verify the mediating role of anxiety in the post-epidemic era. Methods 240 patients with acute ischaemic stroke were selected from a tertiary hospital in Wuhan City and investigated by questionnaire and convenience sampling methods. Results The total anxiety score, disease uncertainty and acute stress reaction were at moderate levels. Anxiety was positively correlated with illness uncertainty, and anxiety and acute stress response were negatively correlated. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Sickness uncertainty, acute stress response, age, and work status influenced anxiety. Anxiety mediated the prediction of Sickness uncertainty and acute stress response, with the mediating effect accounting for 35.6% of the total effect. Conclusion Disease uncertainty in patients with acute ischaemic stroke in the post-epidemic era directly affects the acute stress response and indirectly through anxiety.

Abstract
Among the high prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases nowadays, acute ischemic stroke stands out, representing a significant worldwide health issue with important socio-economic implications. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are important milestones for the management of this multifaceted pathology, making understanding the various stroke-onset symptoms crucial. A key role in acute ischemic stroke management is emphasizing the essential role of a multi-disciplinary team, therefore, increasing the efficiency of recognition and treatment. Neuroimaging and neuroradiology have evolved dramatically over the years, with multiple approaches that provide a higher understanding of the morphological aspects as well as timely recognition of cerebral artery occlusions for effective therapy planning. Regarding the treatment matter, the pharmacological approach, particularly fibrinolytic therapy, has its merits and challenges. Endovascular thrombectomy, a game-changer in stroke management, has witnessed significant advances, with technologies like stent retrievers and aspiration catheters playing pivotal roles. For select patients, combining pharmacological and endovascular strategies offers evidence-backed benefits. The aim of our comprehensive study on acute ischemic stroke is to efficiently compare the current therapies, recognize novel possibilities from the literature, and describe the state of the art in the interdisciplinary approach to acute ischemic stroke. As we aspire for holistic patient management, the emphasis is not just on medical intervention but also on physical therapy, mental health, and community engagement. The future holds promising innovations, with artificial intelligence poised to reshape stroke diagnostics and treatments. Bridging the gap between groundbreaking research and clinical practice remains a challenge, urging continuous collaboration and research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A significant number of patients develop anxiety after stroke. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for anxiety after hemorrhagic stroke that may facilitate diagnosis and treatment. METHODS Patients admitted between January 2015 and February 2021 with nontraumatic hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral [ICH] or subarachnoid [SAH] hemorrhage) were assessed telephonically 3 and 12 months after stroke with the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders Anxiety Short Form to evaluate the relationships between poststroke anxiety (T score >50) and preclinical social and neuropsychiatric history, systemic and neurological illness severity, and in-hospital complications. RESULTS Of 71 patients who completed the 3-month assessment, 28 (39%) had anxiety. There was a difference in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores on admission between patients with anxiety (median=14, interquartile range [IQR]=12-15) and those without anxiety (median=15, IQR=14-15) (p=0.034), and the incidence of anxiety was higher among patients with ICH (50%) than among those with SAH (20%) (p=0.021). Among patients with ICH, anxiety was associated with larger median ICH volume (25 cc [IQR=8-46] versus 8 cc [IQR=3-13], p=0.021) and higher median ICH score (2 [IQR=1-3] versus 1 [IQR=0-1], p=0.037). On multivariable analysis with GCS score, hemorrhage type, and neuropsychiatric history, only hemorrhage type remained significant (odds ratio=3.77, 95% CI=1.19-12.05, p=0.024). Of the 39 patients who completed the 12-month assessment, 12 (31%) had anxiety, and there was a difference in mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores between patients with (5 [IQR=3-12]) and without (2 [IQR=0-4]) anxiety (p=0.045). There was fair agreement (κ=0.38) between the presence of anxiety at 3 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Hemorrhage characteristics and factors assessed with neurological examination on admission are associated with the development of poststroke anxiety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many individuals will also experience psychological side effects after a stroke episode, such as symptoms of depression, anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)), and/or specific phobias, considerably decreasing their quality of life (QOL). OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of depression, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and concurrent anxiety (DOCA) and their outcomes (morbidity, disability (All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Group (APRDRG) - loss of function), and discharge disposition) among acute ischemic stroke (AIS) hospitalizations. METHODS A cross-sectional study used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2003-2017. Adults with hospitalizations with AIS were extracted, and DOCA was identified using ICD-9/10-CM codes. Weighted analysis using a chi-square test and mixed-effect multivariable survey logistic regression was used to assess the prevalence and role of DOCA in predicting outcomes. RESULTS Out of 5,690,773 AIS hospitalizations, 2.7%, 3.1%, and 4.4% had depression, OSA, and GAD, respectively. In AIS patients, females had a higher prevalence of depression (3.4% vs. 2.3%) and GAD (5.9% vs. 3.0%) and a quality of life lower prevalence of OSA (2.2% vs 4.4%) in comparison to males (p<0.0001). Caucasians had a higher prevalence of depression, OSA, and GAD in comparison to others (African Americans/Hispanics/Asians/Native Americans). Depressed patients had a higher prevalence of morbidity (9% vs. 8% vs 5% vs. 7%), disability (46% vs. 46% vs. 35% vs. 37%), transfer to non-home (69% vs. 58% vs. 61% vs. 63%) in comparison with OSA, GAD, and non-DOCA patients, respectively (p<0.0001). Depression was associated with a 40% higher chance of severe disability (aOR 1.40; 95% CI 1.38-41), morbidity (1.36; 1.33-1.38), and discharge to non-home (1.54; 1.52-1.56). OSA and GAD had higher odds of non-home discharge amongst post-AIS hospitalizations. CONCLUSION DOCA is associated with poor outcomes among post-AIS patients. Prompt recognition by screening and timely management of DOCA may mitigate the adverse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study explored the role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in post stroke anxiety (PSA) in noncardiogenic ischemic stroke patients. METHODS 180 patients with noncardiogenic ischemic stroke were consecutively enrolled from January 2019 to December 2019. All patients underwent polysomnography (PSG) to assess for OSA. OSA severity was identified based on the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), i.e., no OSA (AHI <5), mild OSA (5 = AHI <15), and moderate to severe OSA (AHI ≥15). Neuropsychological assessments were performed at acute phase and 6 months later to evaluate anxiety (Chinese version of the Zung self-rating anxiety scale [SAS], and Beck Anxiety Inventory [BAI]), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9, [PHQ-9]), and cognition (Mini-mental state examination, [MMSE], and Montreal Cognitive Assessment, [MOCA]). Clinical diagnoses of PSA were made based on interviews and the anxiety scales. The correlations between PSA and OSA were investigated in Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The prevalence of acute-phase and 6-month PSA were 27 (15%) and 52 (28.9%) respectively. Moderate to severe OSA and post-stroke depression (PSD) were the influencing factors of acute-phase PSA. 6-Month PSA was not associated with OSA but was associated with acute-phase anxiety, education status and MOCA. Logistic regression analysis including respiratory and sleeping parameters showed that AHI and micro-arousal index contributed to acute-phase PSA. CONCLUSIONS Acute-phase PSA was associated with OSA severity, potentially through OSA-caused sleep discontinuity. While 6-month PSA was associated with acute-phase anxiety, highlighting the need for integration of screening for and management of OSA and PSA at acute phase.

Abstract
Ischemic strokes occur when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced due to arterial blockage, and it often leads to damage to brain cells or death. According to a myriad of experimental studies, oxidative stress is an important pathophysiological mechanism of ischemic stroke. In this narrative review, we aimed to identify how the alterations of oxidative stress biomarkers could suggest a severity-reflecting diagnosis of ischemic stroke and how these interactions may provide new molecular targets for neuroprotective therapies. We performed an eligibility criteria-based search on three main scientific databases. We found that patients with acute ischemic stroke are characterized by increased oxidative stress markers levels, such as the total antioxidant capacity, F2-isoprostanes, hydroxynonenal, total and perchloric acid oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORACTOT and ORACPCA), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase, and urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine. Thus, acute ischemic stroke is causing significant oxidative stress and associated molecular and cellular damage. The assessment of these molecular markers could be useful in diagnosing ischemic stroke, finding its causes, predicting its severity and outcomes, reducing its impact on the cellular structures of the brain, and guiding preventive treatment towards antioxidant-based therapy as novel therapeutic alternatives.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a biopsychosocial disorder that affects individuals who have suffered a stroke at any point. PSD has a 20 to 60 percent reported prevalence among stroke survivors. Its effects are usually adverse, can lead to disability, and may increase mortality if not managed or treated early. PSD is linked to several other medical conditions, including anxiety, hyper-locomotor activity, and poor functional recovery. Despite significant awareness of its adverse impacts, understanding the pathogenesis of PSD has proved challenging. The exact pathophysiology of PSD is unknown, yet its complexity has been definitively shown, involving mechanisms such as dysfunction of monoamine, the glutamatergic systems, the gut-brain axis, and neuroinflammation. The current effectiveness of PSD treatment is about 30-40 percent of all cases. In this review, we examined different pathophysiological mechanisms and current pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for the treatment of PSD.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the prevalence, correlates, and significant associated factors of anxiety among patients with stroke. A cross-sectional, correlation design was utilized. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale was used to detect and assess the severity of anxiety and depression among mentally well patients at general hospital settings. Among the 226 patients with stroke, 45.6% had clinically significant levels of anxiety to be considered as a definite case. Having a short duration since the stroke onset, being a definite case of depression, being unable to perform self-care activities, having an insufficient monthly income, and having visual problems due to stroke were the significantly associated factors. The high prevalence of anxiety among patients with stroke highlights the need for interventions of early detection and management to enhance recovery. Patients who have any of the significant traits predicted post-stroke anxiety required special attention.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the association between depression/anxiety and activity limitations and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic stroke survivors in Benin. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and seventy-six chronic stroke survivors (113 males; mean age (±SD): 56.5 (±10.5) years old) were included. We used the Barthel index (BI) to assess activity limitations. Participants were screened for depression and anxiety symptoms using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Euroqol-5 Dimensions-3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) including a Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) was used to assess HRQoL. Multivariate linear regressions were performed to determine the impact of psychological disorders on activity limitations and HRQoL. RESULTS Depression (β=-0.54; p < 0.0001) and anxiety (β=-0.35; p < 0.0001) were negatively associated with activity limitations (R2=0.60). Similar patterns of association were observed with HRQoL (β≤-0.28; p < 0.0001; R2 ≥0.40). Inversely, occupational status showed positive association with EQ-5D-3L summary index scores (β = 0.21; p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS Depression and anxiety had a negative impact on activity limitations and HRQoL in Beninese chronic stroke survivors. This call for action to integrate psychological interventions as part of rehabilitation programs in low and middle-income countries.Implications for rehabilitationPost-stroke depression and anxiety are quite common among stroke survivors in sub-Saharan Africa.Post-stroke depression and anxiety negatively impact activities and health-related quality of life in chronic stroke survivors in sub-Saharan Africa.Managing these post-stroke psychological disorders is necessary to promote the functional recovery and social reintegration of stroke survivors in their communities.

Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Evaluation of stroke recovery outcome is crucial and a major goal of clinical practice. A recovery trajectory model serves as a prognostic tool that enables development of effective intervention and long-term management to improve poststroke recovery outcomes. This study explored time-varying risk factors associated with the progression of functional recovery and psychological distress poststroke. METHODS: Participants were patients with first-ever stroke who underwent assessment for activities of daily living, psychological distress, and social support at the onset (within 72 hours) and at 1, 3, and 6 months. A generalized estimation equation was used to account for the correlation between the repeated measurements. RESULTS: Of the 101 patients, 60.4% were men, and the mean (SD) age was 63.06 (13.12) years. Over time, the physical functions of patients after stroke significantly increased, and anxiety and depression significantly decreased. Approximately 50% of patients achieved full functional recovery after 6 months. The time-varying risk factors for National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores and depression levels affected the trajectory of functional recovery during follow-up. Factors associated with patient anxiety levels were National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores and depression levels. Factors associated with patient depression levels included education, anxiety, and social support levels. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the progression of time-varying risk factors for functional recovery and psychological distress in patients with first-ever stroke. We recommend that nurses work with patients and their families in the early poststroke stages to identify comprehensive goals based on individual needs and related factors at different stages and that they educate patients on what is required for them to regain independence.

Abstract
Background: Cerebrovascular disease, with its complex anatomy, and various parts of the brain can cause neurological deficits. The Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification distinguishes a posterior circulation infarct (PCI) from an Anterior Circulation Infarction (ACI) by using radiological examination. Anxiety after stroke occurs in about 24% of patients and it is a problem with quality of life associated with poor health. In Post Stroke Anxiety (PSA), there are still few studies on prevention, risk factors and therapeutic interventions. More than 40% of stroke sufferers have cognitive impairment or post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).
Objectives: To determine the correlation between Indonesian Version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment Score (MoCA-INA) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Scores (HADS-A) for post-stroke patients in neurological road care installation in University of Sumatera Utara Hospital.
Methods: This is a numerical correlation study with a cross-sectional approach.. The sampling method is non-probability sampling with consecutive sampling type. The research subjects were then examined for the total MOCAINA score. Then, the research subjects are examined for HADS-A. After all the results of the examination, the questionnaire and the subject's personal data are completely filled in, the questionnaire is collected. The analysis uses the Spearman correlation test
Results: The results of the analysis using the Spearman correlation test for the correlation between MoCA-INA total score and HADS-A total score, the value of r is -0.602 with p value <0.001 (the correlation is very significant with negative correlation direction and the strength of the correlation is strong).
Conclusions and Suggestions: With the influence of MoCa-INA score on the HADS-A score in post-stroke patients, it can provide an input for health workers to immediately detect and anticipate events of cognitive decline and anxiety in post-stroke patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines are related to cognitive function and psychiatric disorders in patients with several diseases. However, few relevant studies have been performed on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the correlation of common inflammatory cytokines with cognition impairment, anxiety, and depression in AIS patients. Common inflammatory cytokines of 176 AIS patients (including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-17) were measured using Human Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay Kits. Cognition impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)), anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for anxiety (HADS-A)), and depression (HADS-D) were evaluated. The incidence of cognition impairment, anxiety, and depression was 43.2, 39.2, and 31.2%, respectively. TNF-α and IL-6 were negatively associated with MMSE score, and high TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were correlated with cognition impairment occurrence. In addition, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17 were positively associated with HADS-A score, while only high TNF-α was associated with anxiety occurrence. Furthermore, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17 were positively associated with HADS-D score, while high IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 correlated with depression occurrence. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that TNF-α and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥5 were associated with high risk of cognition impairment; TNF-α, IL-17, unemployed before surgery, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) correlated with high anxiety occurrence. Furthermore, IL-17, divorced/widowed/single status, diabetes, and NIHSS score ≥5 were associated with high risk of depression. In conclusion, common inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17 were related to cognition impairment, anxiety, or depression in AIS patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of poor sleep quality after stroke, especially persistent poor sleep quality, on poststroke anxiety and depression is unclear. We seek to investigate the impact of baseline and persistent poor sleep quality on short-term poststroke anxiety and depression. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data were analyzed for 1619 patients with acute ischemic stroke from the Impairment of Cognition and Sleep after Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack in Chinese Patients study (ICONS). The sleep quality was assessed at 2 weeks and 3 months using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale (PSQI). Poor sleep quality was defined as a PSQI score of >5, and persistent poor sleep quality was defined as a PSQI score of >5 at each time point. Patients were divided into three groups according to the quality of sleep: good sleep quality, baseline poor sleep quality and persistent poor sleep quality. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7), and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months after stroke were taken as the study outcomes. RESULTS Persistent poor sleep quality was present in 70.2% of patients after stroke. Compared to those with good sleep quality, patients with baseline poor sleep quality did not show significant differences in disability, anxiety and depression. However, patients with persistent poor sleep were at increased risk of depression (odds ratio, OR 3.04, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.66-5.57, P < 0.01) and anxiety (OR 3.20, 95% CI 1.42-7.19, P < 0.01) at 3 months after stroke. Persistent poor sleep quality was not identified as a risk factor for functional disability at 3 months. CONCLUSION Patients with persistent poor sleep quality are at added risks for depression and anxiety after stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a special patient group, stroke patients have a significant attachment to humanistic care. However, multiple problems remain in clinical practice. Medical staff in stroke wards are the primary providers of humanistic care. Finding out the opinions of the staff that provide these medical services is vitally important for stroke patients that need access to curative and humanistic care. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to explore the psychological experiences of doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists during the implementation of humanistic care in stroke wards. METHOD This is a qualitative phenomenological study. Medical staff (i.e., doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists) were selected from stroke wards in general hospitals (minimum level two) from 13 cities within six provinces in China. A purposive sampling method was used until saturation (n = 18). Face-to-face or video call semi-structured interviews were conducted by using a phenomenological research method. The average interview length was 60 min (range 30-90 min). The Colaizzi seven-step method was used for analysis. RESULTS Four themes and 12 sub-themes were extracted from the qualitative interviews of the medicine, nursing and technology staff, as follows. ➀ The ward staff reported that the behaviors of the stroke patients gradually improved when they assisted with stroke treatment idea changes, when they paid attention to solving the patients' existing problems, and when they took the initiative to create a caring atmosphere; ➁ when humanistic care in the stroke wards was carried out with consciousness and ability improvement (including proactive caring behaviors in which vocational value was not strong and in which the whole-person rehabilitation was given attention, not just implementation), the patients' behaviors improved; ➂ the stroke wards themselves were improved (the gap between the current management and the needs of medical institutions and the gap between the rehabilitation conditions and the patients' needs were addressed); and ➃ the urgent needs of the staff in the implementation of humanistic care in stroke wards were considered (the addition of full-time posts, the effective training of humanistic care, and the construction of a more harmonious doctor-patient relationship). CONCLUSION In implementing humanistic care in stroke wards, the consciousness and ability of the medical staff need to be improved. In addition, the practical problems and contradictions affecting the development of humanistic care must be addressed. To improve the level of humanistic care in stroke wards, attention should be paid to the overall improvement of the personal qualities of the medical staff and the integration of a humanistic management mode.

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the longitudinal changes of poststroke anxiety/depression rates, and their potential risk factors in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.A total of 250 first diagnosis of AIS patients were enrolled and followed for 36 months. Anxiety/depression of patients were assessed using hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) at month (M) 0 (M0) and then every 3 months till M36.During 36-month follow-up, both HADS-anxiety score (from 6.9 ± 3.1 at M0 to 8.0 ± 3.5 at M36) and anxiety rate (from 41.2% at M0 to 54.0% at M36) (both P < .01) were increased with time longitudinally. Meanwhile, HADS-depression score (from 6.2 ± 3.0 at M0 to 6.9 ± 3.1 at M36) and depression rate (from 32.4% at M0 to 40.4% at M36) (both P > .05) displayed an upward trend with time longitudinally but without statistical significance. By forward multivariate logistic regression analysis, female, diabetes and higher National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score independently predicted elevated anxiety risk at M0, M12, M24, and M36 (all P < .05); while longer education duration and hypertension independently predicted raised anxiety risk at M0 and M12 (all P < .05), respectively. Regarding depression, diabetes independently predicted increased depression risk at M0, M12, M24, and M36 (all P < .01); longer education duration independently predicted higher depression risk at M0 and M12 (both P < .05); female independently predicted increased depression risk at M24 and M36 (both P < .01); higher NIHSS score independently predicted raised depression risk at M24 and M36 (both P < .01).Poststroke anxiety and depression are frequent, which deteriorate with time; besides, female, diabetes, NIHSS score, hypertension and education duration independently predicted increased poststroke anxiety or depression risk in AIS patients.

Abstract
We performed an in silico, in vitro, and in vivo assessment of a potassium 2-[2-(2-oxo-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl) acetamido]ethanesulfonate (compound 1) as a potential prodrug for cognitive function improvement in ischemic brain injury. Using in silico methods, we predicted the pharmacological efficacy and possible safety in rat models. In addition, in silico data showed neuroprotective features of compound 1, which were further supported by in vitro experiments in a glutamate excitotoxicity-induced model in newborn rat cortical neuron cultures. Next, we checked whether compound 1 is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier in intact and ischemic animals. Compound 1 improved animal behavior both in intact and ischemic rats and, even though the concentration in intact brains was low, we still observed a significant anxiety reduction and activity escalation. We used molecular docking and molecular dynamics to support our hypothesis that compound 1 could affect the AMPA receptor function. In a rat model of acute focal cerebral ischemia, we studied the effects of compound 1 on the behavior and neurological deficit. An in vivo experiment demonstrated that compound 1 significantly reduced the neurological deficit and improved neurological symptom regression, exploratory behavior, and anxiety. Thus, here, for the first time, we show that compound 1 can be considered as an agent for restoring cognitive functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because the recurrence rate of stroke increases 1 year after its initial occurrence, it is important to predict quality of life at this stage, although most functions are likely recovered. OBJECTIVES We aimed to construct and verify a model of quality of life in patients 1 year post stroke by considering their characteristics at the time of the stroke based on the Wilson and Cleary model and previous literature. METHODS Participants comprised 288 patients who had experienced their first ischemic stroke and were enrolled in 3 regional stroke centers in South Korea. Data were analyzed using path analysis to identify a model of patients' quality of life 1 year post stroke. RESULTS Age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety had a direct effect on quality of life, whereas type D personality and social support had an indirect effect. Type D personality, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, social support, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety explained 32.9% of the total variance in quality of life. CONCLUSIONS When predicting quality of life in a patient 1 year after a stroke, it is important to consider variables such as type D personality, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, social support, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety at the time of the first stroke. Interventions to improve the quality of life of patients with stroke should consider these factors.

Front Psychol 2021; 12:663267. [PMID: 34177717 PMCID: PMC8222528 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.663267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Stroke continues to be a common and debilitating medical condition which has a significant effect on public health as the second primary source of mortality and the third major root of disability worldwide. A wide range of complications affecting the survivor's life and interfering with the recovery process usually follows stroke; anxiety and depression are considered one of the major complications post-stroke. This study sought to investigate the short-term psychological consequences of stroke among Lebanese survivors and to identify their correlates. Methods: This study is a prospective observational epidemiological study. 143 stroke patients admitted to hospitals in Mount Lebanon and Beirut between February and May 2018.were included in this study. Assessments of complications were carried out at 3 months post-stroke by completing a 30-min face-to-face interview questionnaire. The survey included the socio-demographic -characteristics of the patients, their lifestyle, health indicators, the severity of stroke, and the post-stroke consequences disturbing their quality of life. Results: Complications were recorded for 117 stroke survivors (mean age, 72.46 years; 60.7% male). The analysis of results 3 months post stroke showed that 29 survivors suffered from neuropathic pain (24.8%), 110 (94%) suffered from fatigue, and 81 (69.2%) from cognitive impairment. High rates of anxiety (51.3%), and depression (76.1%) were recorded as well. Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that there is a significant association between depression and the following variables: anxiety (OR = 4.814, p-value = 0.017), pain (OR = 6.868, p-value = 0.002), and physical activity, which acts as a protective factor against depression (OR = 0.261; p-value = 0.029). However, the results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis for anxiety indicated that immobility-related complications increase the risk of anxiety by 8.457 in sedentary duration longer than 12 h (ORa = 8.457, p-value = 0.01). Furthermore, patients with neuropathic pain (24.8%) are 3.858 times more likely to have anxiety compared to patients without neuropathic pain (ORa = 3.858, p-value = 0.019). Conclusion: Using a patient-centered structure more interventions should take place to evaluate stroke survivors' outcomes, and organize rehabilitation services that deal with stroke consequences, particularly high anxiety and depression levels, which are prevalent and persistent among the Lebanese stroke survivors.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:5455. [PMID: 34064275 PMCID: PMC8196847 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22115455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Sigma-1 receptor (chaperone Sigma1R) is an intracellular protein with chaperone functions, which is expressed in various organs, including the brain. Sigma1R participates in the regulation of physiological mechanisms of anxiety (Su, T. P. et al., 2016) and reactions to emotional stress (Hayashi, T., 2015). In 2006, fabomotizole (ethoxy-2-[2-(morpholino)-ethylthio]benzimidazole dihydrochloride) was registered in Russia as an anxiolytic (Seredenin S. and Voronin M., 2009). The molecular targets of fabomotizole are Sigma1R, NRH: quinone reductase 2 (NQO2), and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) (Seredenin S. and Voronin M., 2009). The current study aimed to clarify the dependence of fabomotizole anxiolytic action on its interaction with Sigma1R and perform a docking analysis of fabomotizole interaction with Sigma1R. An elevated plus maze (EPM) test revealed that the anxiolytic-like effect of fabomotizole (2.5 mg/kg i.p.) administered to male BALB/c mice 30 min prior EPM exposition was blocked by Sigma1R antagonists BD-1047 (1.0 mg/kg i.p.) and NE-100 (1.0 mg/kg i.p.) pretreatment. Results of initial in silico study showed that fabomotizole locates in the active center of Sigma1R, reproducing the interactions with the site's amino acids common for established Sigma1R ligands, with the ΔGbind value closer to that of agonist (+)-pentazocine in the 6DK1 binding site.

Abstract
Background & Purpose: Anxiety and depression are common among stroke survivors, and their effect on long-term outcome remains unknown in those under 65 years of age. We investigated the association between early anxiety/depression after stroke and 12-month disability, and whether this is modified by sex.Methods: The Psychosocial Outcomes In StrokE (POISE) study was a prospective observational cohort study that recruited 441 younger (< 65 years) stroke survivors ≤28 days of acute stroke. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and disability using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale version II (WHODAS-II). Associations between baseline anxiety/depression, and disability at 12-months was tested using analysis of covariance. Subgroup analysis was conducted using interaction term.Results: 92 (25%) had anxiety and 53 (14%) depression at baseline. Multivariable models showed significant association between baseline anxiety and 12-month disability (WHODAS-II score 15.24 vs. 11.49, p < .05). Those with anxiety had more impairment in 'cognition' (WHODAS-II score 18.26 vs. 8.71, p < .001), 'getting along' (WHODAS-II score 11.87 vs. 7.42, p < .05) and 'participation' (WHODAS-II score 22.37 vs. 15.92, p < .005) WHODAS-II. No significant relationship was found between baseline depression and long-term disability. There was no differential effect of anxiety by sex found in this study.Conclusions: Post-stroke anxiety has an adverse effect on disability at one year among young stroke survivors.

Abstract
Patients with stroke are likely to experience impaired health-related quality of life (QOL), especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate the QOL of Chinese patients with stroke during the pandemic and explore the associated variables. A matched-pair, multicenter survey was conducted before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Questionnaires including the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, and the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR) were used. A total of 172 matched pairs (344 patients) were recruited in this study. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze variables associated with QOL. Physical and mental component scores (PCS and MCS) were higher among the stroke patients during the pandemic (44.20 ± 18.92 and 54.24 ± 19.08) than before the pandemic (37.98 ± 14.52 and 43.50 ± 20.94). Pandemic stress, demographic and clinical characteristics were negative variables associated with PCS and MCS. QPR was positively associated with PCS and MCS. The QOL of Chinese stroke patients was higher during than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic stress aggravated stroke patients’ QOL, while personal recovery could alleviate the detrimental effect of pandemic stress on QOL for stroke patients.

Abstract
Background: Abnormal sleep duration predicts depression and anxiety. We seek to evaluate the impact of sleep duration before stroke on the occurrence of depression and anxiety at 3 months after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: Nationally representative samples from the Third China National Stroke Registry were used to examine cognition and sleep impairment after AIS (CNSR-III-ICONS). Based on baseline sleep duration before onset of stroke as measured by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), 1,446 patients were divided into four groups: >7, 6-7, 5-6, and <5 h of sleep. Patients were followed up with the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for 3 months. Poststroke anxiety (PSA) was defined as GAD-7 of ≥5 and poststroke depression (PSD) as PHQ-9 of ≥5. The association of sleep duration with PSA and PSD was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression. Results: The incidences of PSA and PSD were 11.2 and 17.6% at 3 months, respectively. Compared to a sleep duration of >7 h, 5-6 h, and <5 h of sleep were identified as risk factors of PSA [odds ratio (OR), 1.95; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.24-3.07; P < 0.01 and OR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.94-6.04; P < 0.01) and PSD (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.00-2.17; P = 0.04 and OR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.85-5.02; P < 0.01), while 6-7 h of sleep was associated with neither PSA (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.71-1.67; P = 0.68) nor PSD (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.64-1.30; P = 0.64). In interaction analysis, the impact of sleep duration on PSA and PSD was not affected by gender (P = 0.68 and P = 0.29, respectively). Conclusions: Sleep duration of shorter than 6 h was predictive of anxiety and depression after ischemic stroke.

Lancet Psychiatry 2021; 8:225-236. [PMID: 33539776 DOI: 10.1016/s2215-0366(20)30431-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2020] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral small vessel disease, a common cause of vascular dementia, is often considered clinically silent before dementia or stroke become apparent. However, some individuals have subtle symptoms associated with acute MRI lesions. We aimed to determine whether neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms vary according to small vessel disease burden. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO for articles published in any language from database inception to Jan 24, 2020. We searched for studies assessing anxiety, apathy, delirium, emotional lability, fatigue, personality change, psychosis, dementia-related behavioural symptoms or cognitive symptoms (including subjective memory complaints), and radiological features of cerebral small vessel disease. We extracted reported odds ratios (OR), standardised mean differences (SMD), and correlations, stratified outcomes by disease severity or symptom presence or absence, and pooled data using random-effects meta-analyses, reporting adjusted findings when possible. We assessed the bias on included studies using the Risk of Bias for Non-randomized Studies tool. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42018096673. FINDINGS Of 7119 papers identified, 81 studies including 79 cohorts in total were eligible for inclusion (n=21 730 participants, mean age 69·2 years). Of these 81 studies, 45 (8120 participants) reported effect estimates. We found associations between worse white matter hyperintensity (WMH) severity and apathy (OR 1·41, 95% CI 1·05-1·89) and the adjusted SMD in apathy score between WMH severities was 0·38 (95% CI 0·15-0·61). Worse WMH severity was also associated with delirium (adjusted OR 2·9, 95% CI 1·12-7·55) and fatigue (unadjusted OR 1·63, 95% CI 1·20-2·22). WMHs were not consistently associated with subjective memory complaints (OR 1·34, 95% CI 0·61-2·94) and unadjusted SMD for WMH severity between these groups was 0·08 (95% CI -0·31 to 0·47). Anxiety, dementia-related behaviours, emotional lability, and psychosis were too varied or sparse for meta-analysis; these factors were reviewed narratively. Overall heterogeneity varied from 0% to 79%. Only five studies had a low risk of bias across all domains. INTERPRETATION Apathy, fatigue, and delirium associated independently with worse WMH, whereas subjective cognitive complaints did not. The association of anxiety, dementia-related behaviours, emotional lability, and psychosis with cerebral small vessel disease require further investigation. These symptoms should be assessed longitudinally to improve early clinical detection of small vessel disease and enable prevention trials to happen early in the disease course, long before cognition declines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental health problems after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have caused wide public concerns, and the study on early identification of these disorders is still an open issue. This study aims to investigate the predictive effect of circulating neurofilament light (NfL) on long-term mental health status of AIS patients. METHODS This study collected demographic information and mental health measurements from 304 AIS patients from May 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2019. Baseline serum neurofilament light (NfL) was determined within 2 h since patient admission. Six months after AIS onset, the degree of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia was assessed by the Chinese versions of the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), the 7-item Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), respectively. Subjects were divided into the high NfL group and the low NfL group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with these mental health problems. RESULTS The high NfL group had significantly higher PHQ-9, GAD-7, and ISI scores than the low NfL group. The prediction of serum NfL for major depression generated a sensitivity of 70.27%, a specificity of 67.79% and an AUC of 0.694. The prediction of serum NfL for anxiety generated a sensitivity of 69.23%, a specificity of 64.02%, and an AUC of 0.683. The prediction of serum NfL for insomnia generated a sensitivity of 75.00%, a specificity of 66.43% and an AUC of 0.723. Higher serum NfL was a risk factor of post-AIS depression [ORs (95% CI): 4.427 (1.918, 10.217)], anxiety [ORs (95% CI): 3.063 (1.939, 6.692)], and insomnia [ORs (95% CI): 4.200 (1.526, 11.562)]. CONCLUSIONS These findings imply that circulating NfL might be a potential biomarker of long-term mental health problems after AIS.

[PMID: 34248720 PMCID: PMC8264416 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.699869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Post-stroke anxiety (PSA) is a common affective disorder in patients with ischemic stroke. The elderly are more susceptible to mental health issues, however, few studies have so far focused on PSA in elderly patients, especially in the context of the COVID-19, causing psychological issues in the general population. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of PSA in elderly patients following COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 206 elderly inpatients with newly diagnosed acute ischemic stroke in the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, from January 2020 to December 2020. Patients were categorized into the PSA group and the non-PSA group based on Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores at admission (within 1 week after stroke onset). Demographic and clinical data, mental state by Mini-Mental State Examination, depression by Hamilton Depression Scales (HAMD), and stroke severity and outcome by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyze risk factors associated with PSA. We determined the cutoff scores for significant predictors of PSA using the area under the curve (AUC) and receiver operating characteristic. Results: Of the 206 stroke patients, 62 (30.1%) developed anxiety. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that female gender [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.288, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.021-5.128, P = 0.044], high NIHSS scores [aOR: 1.264, 95% CI: 1.074-1.486, P = 0.005] and HAMD scores [aOR: 1.345, 95% CI: 1.215-1.490, P < 0.001] were independent risk factors for PSA. The cutoff threshold for the NIHSS scores was 3.5 points with an AUC of 0.64 and the cutoff threshold for HAMD scores was 5.5 points with an AUC of 0.89. Conclusion: Our results showed a high incidence of PSA in elderly patients after the COVID-19 outbreak. Female gender, high NIHSS and HAMD scores were the independent risk factors for PSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether poor sleep is associated with post-stroke anxiety (PSA) in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and to verify whether poor sleep is a predictor of PSA. METHODS A total of 327 patients with AIS were enrolled and followed up for 1 month. Sleep quality within 1 month before stroke was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at admission. The patients were divided into the poor sleep group (PSQI > 7, n = 76) and good sleep group (PSQI ≤ 7, n = 251). One month after stroke, patients with obvious anxiety symptoms and a Hamilton Anxiety Scale score >7 were diagnosed with PSA. RESULTS Eighty-seven patients (26.6%) were diagnosed with PSA. Compared to the good sleep quality group, the incidence of PSA in patients with poor sleep quality was higher (42.1% vs. 21.9%, p = .001). Poor sleep quality is more common in patients with PSA (35.6% vs. 18.8%, p = .001). A logistic regression analysis indicated that poor sleep quality was significantly associated with PSA (OR: 2.265, 95% CI: 1.262-4.067, p = .003). After adjusting for conventional and identified risk factors, poor sleep quality was found to be independently associated with PSA (OR: 2.676, 95% CI: 1.451-4.936, p = .001). CONCLUSIONS Poor sleep quality before stroke was associated with PSA and may be an independent risk factor of PSA 1 month after AIS onset.

High neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a predictor of poor short-term outcome in patients with mild acute ischemic stroke receiving intravenous thrombolysis. Brain Behav 2020; 10:e01857. [PMID: 32981201 PMCID: PMC7749577 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Revised: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Very few studies have investigated the specific relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the short-term outcomes of patients suffering from mild acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). This study aimed to investigate whether a high NLR is associated with a poor short-term outcome in patients with mild AIS after IVT. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data that were prospectively acquired from patients with AIS treated with IVT. Mild AIS was defined as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤ 7 on admission. The NLR was based on a blood test performed prior to IVT and was classified as 'high' when exceeding the 75th percentile. Follow-ups were performed at discharge and 3 months after onset. A poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin scale (mRS) ≥3. RESULTS A total of 192 patients were included in this study. The median NLR was 3.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2.0-3.9). Fifty-one patients (26.6%) had a high NLR (≥3.9) on admission. Forty-one patients (21.4%) had a poor outcome at discharge, while 34 patients (17.7%) had a poor outcome at 3 months. Patients with a poor outcome at discharge, and at 3 months after onset, were more likely to have a high NLR at discharge (42.9% vs. 21.9%; p = .005) and at 3 months (44.1% vs. 22.8%; p = .011), compared with those with a better outcome. After adjustment for NIHSS score on admission, ipsilateral severe intracranial large artery occlusion, and atrial fibrillation, logistic regression analyses revealed that a high NLR was a significant predictor of poor outcome at discharge and at 3 months after onset. CONCLUSIONS A high NLR on admission could be a useful marker for predicting poor short-term outcome in patients with mild AIS following IVT.

Deiodinases, organic anion transporter polypeptide polymorphisms and symptoms of anxiety and depression after ischemic stroke. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2020; 29:105040. [PMID: 32807452 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2020.105040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 06/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emotional disturbances, such as anxiety and depression are common after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Individual variation in emotional outcome is strongly influenced by genetic factors. One of pituitary axis, is the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, a critical regulator of post-stroke recovery, suggesting that allelic variants in thyroid hormone (TH) signaling regulation can influence stroke outcome. AIM To determine associations between AIS emotional outcome and allelic variants of the TH metabolizing enzymes 1-3 type deiodinase (DIO1-3) and the membrane transporting organic anion polypeptide 1C1 (OATP1C1). METHODS Eligible AIS patients from Lithuania (n=168) were genotyped for ten DIO1-3 and OATP1C1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP): DIO1 rs12095080-A/G, rs11206244-C/T, and rs2235544-A/C; DIO2 rs225014-T/C and rs225015-G/A; DIO3 rs945006-T/G; OATP1C1 rs974453-G/A, rs10444412-T/C, rs10770704-C/T, and rs1515777-A/G. Emotional outcome was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at discharge from the neurology department after experienced index AIS. RESULTS After adjustment for potential confounders, the major allelic (wild-type) DIO1-rs12095080 genotype (AA) was associated with higher odds ratio of anxiety symptoms (OR = 5.16; 95% CI: 1.04-25.58; p = 0.045), conversely, DIO1-rs11206244 wild-type genotype (CC) and wild-type OATP1C1-rs1515777 allele containing the genotypes (AA + AG) were associated with lower odds ratio of symptoms of anxiety (OR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.14-0.96; p = 0.041 and OR = 0.30; 95% CI: 0.12-0.76; p = 0.011, respectively). Wild-type OATP1C1-rs974453 genotype (GG) was associated with higher odds ratio of symptoms of depression (OR = 2.73; 95% CI: 1.04-7.12; p = 0.041). CONCLUSION Allelic variants in thyroid axis genes may predict emotional outcomes of AIS.

Psychiatry Investig 2019; 16:919-925. [PMID: 31698556 PMCID: PMC6933133 DOI: 10.30773/pi.2019.0188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2019] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anxiety is one of the most common complications in patients with stroke, but studies on its relationship to functional outcomes are limited and controversial. We investigated the association between post-stroke anxiety (PSA) and a 1-year trajectory of functional outcome. METHODS A total of 423 patients were recruited within 2 weeks after a stroke (acute phase) during hospitalization. Of them, 306 (72.3%) completed follow-up examinations 1 year thereafter (chronic phase). Anxiety was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale, and functional outcomes were measured using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale for stroke severity, the Barthel Index for activities of daily living (ADL), and the Mini-Mental State Examination for cognitive function at 2 weeks and 1 year. A range of demographic and clinical covariates were considered. The cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between PSA and functional outcomes were investigated. RESULTS PSA at the acute phase was not associated with functional outcomes at the cross-sectional point, but predicted worsening of outcome on stroke severity and ADL 1 year after stroke. PSA at the chronic phase was cross-sectionally associated with poor functional outcomes in all three measures. All associations were independent of potential covariates. CONCLUSION Screening for anxiety is recommended even during the acute phase of stroke, considering its independent detrimental effect on functional prognosis. Screening for anxiety during the chronic phase is also encouraged, as this may reflect the functional status of stroke.
