Abstract:
Depression and cognitive complaints are common after stroke; these issues have been studied in older populations, but not in the young. Two hundred and seventy four eligible stroke and TIA patients consented to participate and complete the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke - Canadian Stroke Network 30-min neuropsychological battery; 57 (21%) were ≤ 50 years of age. Younger patients reported greater symptoms of depression and less executive dysfunction than older patients. This study highlights age differences in post-stroke depression symptoms and cognitive impairment, and emphasizes the need for screening across ages.
