[Abstract] Objective To explore the relationship between intracranial arterial stenosis, lesion location, and depression in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Eighty-eight patients with cerebral infarction from March 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects. The Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess depressive mood. They were divided into depression group and non depression group based on the evaluation results. The degree of intracranial artery stenosis, lesion location, and general information between two groups of patients were compared. Results 88 patients with cerebral infarction complicated with depression, 30 cases. There were statistically significant differences in the degree of intracranial artery stenosis, whether it was located in the frontal or temporal lobes, multiple or single lesions, left and right hemispheres, anterior and posterior circulation, age, and years of education between the depression group and the non depression group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender and marriage between the two groups (P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that severe stenosis of intracranial arteries, lesions located in the frontal or temporal lobes, multiple lesions, age>70 years, and education<9 years were risk factors for cerebral infarction depression (P<0.05). Conclusion Depression is more common in patients with cerebral infarction, and factors such as severe stenosis of intracranial arteries, lesions located in the frontal or temporal lobes, and multiple lesions may increase the risk of depression.
