To investigate the comorbidity of Alzheimer's/dementia, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's with depression.
42,914 patients who were newly diagnosed with the four comorbid diseases were included in the study. We analyzed how many of these patients developed depression within five years.
Between 21% (males with epilepsy) and 39% (women with Parkinson's)/44% (Alzheimer's patients under 60 years) developed depression within five years.
We recommend routine checks for depression in patients diagnosed with one of these diseases, especially in the most comorbid ones.
调查阿尔茨海默病/痴呆症、癫痫、多发性硬化症和帕金森病与抑郁症的共病情况。
本研究纳入了42914例新诊断出患有这四种共病疾病的患者。我们分析了这些患者中有多少人在五年内患上了抑郁症。
在五年内，21%（男性癫痫患者）至39%（女性帕金森病患者）/44%（60岁以下阿尔茨海默病患者）的患者患上了抑郁症。
我们建议对被诊断患有这些疾病之一的患者进行抑郁症的常规检查，尤其是在共病情况最严重的患者中。
