The present study aimed at evaluating how RDW affects depression after ICH.<h4>Methods</h4>From prospective analyses of patients admitted to our department between January 2017 and September 2022, ICH patients with complete medical records were evaluated. The 17-item Hamilton Depression (HAMD-17) scale was used for measuring the depressive symptoms at 3 months after ICH. Diagnosis of post-ICH depression was conducted for patients based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) criteria.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 438 patients were enrolled in thFrontiers in neurology1077518https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10113641biostudies-literatureElevated red blood cell distribution width levels predict depression after intracerebral hemorrhage: A 3-month follow-up study.PMC10113641Mu LLi YMa YZhou XSun ZfalseElevated red blood cell distribution width levels predict depression after intracerebral hemorrhage: A 3-month follow-up study.<h4>Objectives</h4>Inflammation vitally impacts the progression of depression resulting from intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), while red blood cell distribution width (RDW) marks inflammatory-related diseases.
