Antiphospholipid antibodies predict post-stroke depression after acute ischemic stroke

Antiphospholipid activity was reported to be increased in depressive patients, while the impact of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) on post-stroke depression (PSD) is unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations of aPLs, including antiphosphatidylserine (aPS) and anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies with depression after acute ischemic stroke.aPS and aCL were measured in 497 ischemic stroke patients recruited from 7 of 26 participating...
