August 2006
Neurological and Mental Health Division, The George Institute for International Health, The University of Sydney and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, PO Box M201, Missenden Road, Sydney, NSW 2050, Australia.
Background And Purpose: Mood disorders are an important consequence of stroke. We aimed to identify significant, clinically useful predictors of abnormal mood after stroke.
Methods: The Auckland Regional Community Stroke (ARCOS) study was a prospective population-based stroke incidence study conducted in Auckland, New Zealand, over a 12-month period from 2002 to 2003.
Predictors of depression after stroke: a systematic review of observational studies.
Stroke
October 2005
Neurological Diseases and Ageing Division, The George Institute for International Health, University of Sydney, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Australia.
Background And Purpose: Although depression is common after stroke, there is uncertainty over its etiology and risk factors, which complicates management. Knowledge of the predictors of depression associated with stroke may allow for the better targeting of therapy, both prevention and treatment.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review of all published, nonexperimental, population-, hospital-, and rehabilitation-based stroke studies (to June 2004) with prospective, consecutive patient recruitment undertaken to identify variables associated with depressive symptoms (or "illness") after stroke.
Frequency of depression after stroke: a systematic review of observational studies.
Stroke
June 2005
George Institute for International Health, Neurological Diseases and Ageing Division, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the University of Sydney, Australia.
Background And Purpose: Although depression is an important sequelae of stroke, there is uncertainty regarding its frequency and outcome.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review of all published nonexperimental studies (to June 2004) with prospective consecutive patient recruitment and quantification of depressive symptoms/illness after stroke.
Results: Data were available from 51 studies (reported in 96 publications) conducted between 1977 and 2002.
Management of depression after stroke: a systematic review of pharmacological therapies.
Stroke
May 2005
The George Institute for International Health, Neurological Diseases and Ageing Division, affiliated with the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the University of Sydney, Australia.
Background And Purpose: Although depression may affect recovery and outcome after stroke, it is often overlooked or inadequately managed, and there is uncertainty regarding the benefits of antidepressant therapy in this setting. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of antidepressants for the treatment and prevention of depression after stroke.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review using Cochrane methods of randomized placebo-controlled trials of antidepressants for the treatment or prevention of depressive illness and "abnormal mood" after stroke.
