    Stroke is the main cause of death and long-term disability, and it has become an important global public health problem
    .


    Among all complications of stroke survivors, post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common mental problem


    Stroke quality of life

    However, the effect of serum growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) on PSD is still unknown
    .


    Recently, the heart blood vessels published a research article on the disease areas authoritative magazine JAHA, the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum levels of GDF 15-PSD patients with ischemic stroke


    Blood vessel

    The study is based on a random sample from CATIS (Chinese Acute Ischemic Stroke Antihypertensive Trial) and analyzed the GDF-15 levels of 572 patients from 7 participating hospitals
    .


    The result of the study was depressive symptoms (Hamilton Depression Scale score ≥ 8) that appeared 3 months after ischemic stroke


    hypertension

    A total of 231 (40.
    4%) stroke patients in the study experienced PSD within 3 months
    .


    Compared with the lowest tertile, the multivariate adjusted odds ratio of PSD associated with the highest tertile of serum GDF-15 levels was 2.


    It can be seen that the increase of serum GDF-15 level in the acute phase of ischemic stroke is independently related to PSD, indicating that GDF-15 level may be a valuable prognostic biomarker of PSD
