There was significant difference between the age,education level,work after discharge from hospital,economic compensation,CGS,PCS and MCS. The Logistic regression analysis showed the ORs of education above college,CGS﹥8,PCS﹤55 and MCS﹤57 for depression of IBI patients were 0.51(0.33-0.98),0.47(0.22-0.74),3.56(2.53-7.94)and 4.13(1.96-7.45),respectively.[Conclusion]The depression incidence is high among IBI patients,the GCS,education level and quality of life are related to depression of IBI patients.
