Stroke Survivors Have Almost Three Times Higher Risk of Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most frequent and important complications following stroke that adversely affects conditions such as functional recovery and the patient's quality of life. Meanwhile, the prevalence proportion of PSD has been widely documented, ranging from 20 to 60%; the relationship between stroke and the manifestation of PSD, quantified with the odds ratio (OR), has been less explored. The primary aim of this meta-analysis is to determine the prevalence OR of suffering depression in stroke survivors. The prevalence proportion of PSD was also analyzed as a secondary aim. Methods: A pre-registered meta-analysis designed based on PRISMA guidelines with searches from inception to 23 September 2024 was carried out on PubMed, Web of Science,
