The association between triglyceride-glucose index and its combination with post-stroke depression: NHANES 2005–2018
Stroke 6 min.
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most prevalent complications following a stroke, marked by high incidence, mortality, and disability rates. A meta-analysis by Hackett et al., which included 51 studies, revealed that the comorbidity rate of PSD is approximately 33% [1]. Jianglong Guo summarized...
