Yongjun Tan, PhD, Xiaojun Jing, MD, …, and Qin Yang, PhD https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4040-1661 zhanghuapro at hospital.cqmu.edu.cn+4To conduct the association between vitamin D levels in the acute phase of stroke and post-stroke depression (PSD) in stroke patients.
Methods
Five international databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE(R), Cochrane Library) and one Chinese database (Wanfang Data) were searched for observational studies in any language reporting on PSD and vitamin D levels tested in the acute phase of stroke in stroke patients from inception to May 2024. Data extraction and study quality assessment were conducted by two authors independently. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of data were performed. The meta-analysis was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023398581).Results
We included 7 studies containing 3537 participants in the systematic review and meta-analysis. All studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were conducted in China. Vitamin D levels in the acute phase of stroke were lower in PSD patients compared with non-PSD patients (weighted mean difference = −14.97 nmol/L; 95% confidence interval = −19.54, −10.40).
Stroke patients with vitamin D deficiency (<50 nmol/L) had an increased risk of PSD compared with stroke patients with vitamin D sufficiency (≥75 nmol/L) (odds ratio = 3.59; 95% confidence interval = 2.05, 6.27). However, the association between vitamin D insufficiency (50-75 nmol/L) and PSD were not statistically significant (odds ratio = 4.15; 95% confidence interval = 0.87, 19.78).Conclusion
Vitamin D deficiency in the acute phase of stroke may be a risk factor for PSD.
