Prevalence, predictors, and prognoses of prestroke neuropsychiatric symptoms at 3 months poststroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Prior neuropsychiatric disturbances are risk factors for stroke. There is a knowledge gap on the predictors of prestroke psychopathology, as well as their association with stroke outcomes in survivors living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated prevalence, predictors, and association of prestroke neuropsychiatric symptoms with poststroke depression (PSD), disability, and mortality.

Design

Prospective observation.

Setting

Nigeria.

Participants

Adult ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke survivors.

Measurements

Prestroke psychopathology were ascertained using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q). Outcomes were assessed using validated tools, including the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression Scale (CES-D 1
