Popis: Introduction Several studies investigated the role of inflammation in the etiopathogenesis of psychiatric disorders, by also evaluating how CRP may exert a pathoplastic and/or psychopatological role in mood disorders. Objectives The aim of our cross-sectional study is evaluating the high-sensitivity C-reactive-protein (hsCRP) levels in a cohort of unipolar and bipolar depressive inpatients, in relation with psychopathological, temperamental and chronotype features. Methods Among 313 screened inpatients, we recruited 133 moderate-to-severe depressive patients who were assessed for hsCRP levels, chronotype with Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and affective temperament with Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego (TEMPS). Results hsCRP levels were significantly higher among those with previous suicide attempt (p=0.05), death (p=0.018) and self-harm/self-injury thoughts (p=0.011). In addition, hsCRP levels were significantly higher among patients with hypertension (p=0.020) and dyslipidemia (p=0.013). Moreover, positive correlation were found between hsCRP levels and the number of illness of years (p
