Abstract

Objectives:

Prior neuropsychiatric disturbances are risk factors for stroke. There is a knowledge gap on the predictors of prestroke psychopathology, as well as their association with stroke outcomes in survivors living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated prevalence, predictors, and association of prestroke neuropsychiatric symptoms with poststroke depression (PSD), disability, and mortality.

Design:

Prospective observation.

Setting:

Nigeria.

Participants:

Adult ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke survivors.

Measurements:

Prestroke psychopathology were ascertained using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q). Outcomes were assessed using validated tools, including the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies – Depression Scale (CES-D 10) and modified Rankin scale (mRS). Independent associations were investigated using regression models with Bonferroni corrections, and presented as standardized mean differences (SMD) and odds ratios (OR) within 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results:

Among 150 participants, prestroke neuropsychiatric symptoms were found in 78 (52%). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, prestroke sleep disturbance was associated with systemic hypertension (OR = 5.39, 95% CI = 1.70–17.08). Prestroke neuropsychiatric symptoms independently predicted worse motor disability scores (SMD = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.21–1.62) and greater odds of poststroke mortality (OR = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.1–7.0) at 3 months. However, prestroke depression was not significantly associated with PSD.

Conclusion:

Prestroke sleep disturbances was associated with systemic hypertension, a key index of high cardiovascular risk profile and stroke. The findings should energize before-the-stroke identification and prioritization of limited treatment resources in LMICs to persons with sleep symptoms who have multiple, additional, risks of stroke.
