Core Tip Ischemic stroke can lead to post-stroke depression (PSD), which is an important protective factor for neurological recovery, rehabilitation compliance and patient quality of life. In this retrospective study, we found that a cognitive behavioral therapy-centered comprehensive rehabilitation program integrating psychological with neurological rehabilitation was superior to standard care in terms of depressive symptoms, motor recovery, cognitive function and daily living ability. Baseline serum neuropeptide Y identified as a prospective treatment response biomarker. Earlier intervention, enhanced family engagement, preserved cognition, reduced inflammation and non-dominant hemisphere lesions also predicted better outcomes. An internally validated nomogram might facilitate individualized rehabilitation planning in PSD patients.
