Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent complication that worsens rehabilitation outcomes and patient quality of life. This study developed a risk prediction model for PSD based on patient clinical and socio-psychology features for the early detection of high risk PSD patients.

Results: Risk predictors included a history of brain cerebral infarction (odds ratio [OR], 3.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.22-6.70; < 0.0001) and four socio-psychological factors including Eysenck Personality Questionnaire with Neuroticism/Stability (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.12-1.20; < 0.0001), life event scale (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99; = 0.0007), 20 items Toronto Alexithymia Scale (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.02-1.10; = 0.002) and Social Support Rating Scale (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.87-0.90; < 0.001) in the logistic model. In addition, 11 rules were generated in the tree model. The areas under the curve of the ROC and the accuracy for the tree model were 0.85 and 0.86, respectively.

Methods: This study recruited 562 stroke patients in China who were assessed for demographic data, medical history, vascular risk factors, functional status post-stroke, and socio-psychological factors. Multivariate backward logistic regression was used to extract risk factors for depression in 1-month after stroke. We converted the logistic model to a visible tree model using the decision tree method. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to evaluate the performance of the model.

Conclusion: This study provided an effective risk model for PSD and indicated that the socio-psychological factors were important risk factors of PSD.

The interplay between socio-psychological factors and biological systems is pivotal in defining human health and disease, particularly in chronic non-communicable diseases. Recent advancements in psychoneuroimmunology and mitochondrial psychobiology have emphasized the significance of psychological factors as critical determinants of disease onset, progression, recurrence, and severity. These insights align with evolutionary biology, psychology, and psychiatry, highlighting the inherent social nature of humans.

Background: We were interested in developing a methodology for diagnosing the depression status of a focused population group, such as the Korean university student group, with higher accuracy. To this end, we proposed a method of fusing the data collected from multiple depression self-questionnaires aided by a psychiatrist's diagnosis. In particular, we found that the standard diagnostic cut-offs and factor analysis prepared for a general population by depression self-questionnaires are inadequate for a focused population with its unique cultural background.
