Aim High serum bilirubin predicts depression in non‐stroke subjects, but it is unknown whether it also predicts post‐stroke depression (PSD). This study examined the association between the risk of PSD and bilirubin level. Methods Six hundred and thirty‐five patients with acute ischemic stroke in Ho...
