• Background： There were few studies on the relation between changes in libido and incidence of stroke recurrence. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between libido decrease at 2 weeks after stroke and recurrent stroke at 1-year. Methods： It is a multi-centered, prospective cohort study. The 14th item of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 was used to evaluate changes of libido in poststroke patients at 2 weeks. Stroke recurrence was defined as an aggravation of former neurological functional deficit, new local or overall symptoms, or stroke diagnosed at re-admission. Results： Among 2341 enrolled patients, 1757 patients had completed follow-up data, 533 （30.34%） patients had decreased libido at 2 weeks, and 166 （9.45%） patients had recurrent stroke at l-year. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with patients with normal libido, the odds ratio （OR） of recurrent stroke in patients with decreased libido was reduced by 4 l% （OR = 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]： 0.40-0.87）. The correlation was more prominent among male patients （OR = 0.52, 95% CI： 0.31 0.85） and patients of≥60 years of age （OR = 0.57, 95% CI： 0.35-0.93）. Conclusions： One out of three stroke patients in mainland China has decreased libido at 2 weeks after stroke. Decreased libido is a protective factor for stroke recurrence at 1-year, which is more prominent among older male patients.
