Alkaline phosphatase is associated with vascular depression in patients with severe white matter hyperintensities by Xi Tao, Xi Tao, Xi Tao, Yuqi Yin, Yi Zhang, Chen Yang, Siyuan Wu, Wenjing Tang, Chen Li, Chen Li, Tao Song, Tao Song, Tao Song, Juan He

“…In contrast, erythrocyte counts (p = 0.024), hemoglobin (Hb, p = 0.011), hs-CRP (p = 0.002), and ALP (p = 0.021) displayed differential expression in patients with sWMHs across different HAMD scores. (2) ALP and hs-CRP combined with APOA1 or Hb can improve the diagnostic efficiency of positive VDe in sWMHs [AUC = 0.849, 95% CI (0.753, 0.946), p < 0.001] or mWMHs [AUC = 0.718, 95% CI (0.603, 0.834), p = 0.002] patients, respectively. (3) Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) [OR = 1.016, 95% CI (1.003, 1.028), p = 0.016] is correlated with VDe in patients with sWMHs, a relationship that persisted even following adjustments for age and sex.ConclusionThe amalgamation of multiple markers enhances the diagnostic efficacy of VDe through WMHs classification. …”
