Geriatric Syndromes Frequently (Co)-Occur in Geriatric Rehabilitation Inpatients: Restoring Health of Acutely Unwell Adults (RESORT) and Enhancing Muscle Power in Geriatric Rehabilitation (EMPOWER-GR). Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2024:S0003-9993(24)01017-7. [PMID: 38851557 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2024.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and co-occurrence of common geriatric syndromes in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients. DESIGN Restoring Health of Acutely Unwell Adults (RESORT) and Enhancing Muscle Power in Geriatric Rehabilitation (EMPOWER-GR) are observational, longitudinal cohorts. SETTING Geriatric rehabilitation. PARTICIPANTS Geriatric rehabilitation inpatients (N=1890 and N=200). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Geriatric syndromes included polypharmacy, multimorbidity (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale), cognitive impairment, depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale/Geriatric Depression Scale), malnutrition (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition), functional limitation (Katz index), falls, physical frailty (Fried), and sarcopenia (European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2). RESULTS Inpatients in RESORT (R) (N=1890, 56% females) had a median age of 83.4 years (interquartile range [IQR], 77.6-88.4) and in EMPOWER-GR (E) (N=200, 57% females) of 79.8 years (IQR, 75.0-85.9). Polypharmacy (R, 82.2%; E, 84.0%), multimorbidity (R, 90.4%; E, 85.5%), functional limitation (R, 96.0%; E, 76.5%), and frailty (R, 91.8%; E, 92.2%) were most prevalent. Most inpatients had ≥5 geriatric syndromes at admission in both cohorts (R, 70.0%; E, 72.4%); few inpatients had only 1 (R, 0.4%; E, 1.5%) or no geriatric syndrome (R, 0.2%; E, 0.0%). Geriatric syndromes did not occur in isolation (without other syndromes), except for multimorbidity (R, 1%; E, 5%), functional limitation (R, 3%; E, 2%), falls (R, 0%; E, 4%), and frailty (R, 2%; E, 5%), which occurred in isolation in some inpatients; sarcopenia did not. CONCLUSIONS Geriatric syndromes are highly prevalent at admission to geriatric rehabilitation, with a median of 5 co-occurring syndromes. Implications for diagnosis and intervention potential should be further addressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few observational studies have investigated the association of dietary antioxidant intake with post-stroke depression (PSD) risk. We used the cross-sectional and longitudinal design to investigate the independent and joint associations between dietary antioxidant intake and PSD risk and all-cause mortality. METHODS Participants from the 2005-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) aged 20 years and older with stroke were included. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to assess the associations of dietary antioxidant intake, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, and carotenoids, and composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) with PSD risk and all-cause mortality. RESULTS The highest quartile of dietary vitamin A (OR: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.32, 0.92), total carotenoids (OR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.34, 0.94), and selenium intake (OR: 0.53, 95%CI: 0.31, 0.90) were associated with decreased PSD risk compared with those in the lowest quartile. The results showed a negative association between CDAI and PSD risk, with the lowest OR in the third quartiles (OR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.30, 0.83). Furthermore, the highest quartile of dietary vitamin A (HR: 0.63, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.89), vitamin E (HR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.99), zinc (HR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.40, 0.81), selenium (HR: 0.64, 95%CI: 0.46, 0.90), and total carotenoids (HR: 0.66, 95%CI: 0.47, 0.92) intake and CDAI (HR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.39, 0.81) were associated with decreased all-cause mortality compared with those in the lowest quartile. CONCLUSION Increased intake of dietary antioxidant may protect from depressive symptoms and improve the prognosis of stroke patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of supervised and unsupervised functional level-based exercises program for elderly inpatients on physical activity, mobility, health-related quality of life and depression status. DESIGN A single-blinded randomised controlled trial. SETTING Internal medicine service. SUBJECTS Patients aged 65 years or older. INTERVENTIONS A supervised functional level-based exercise program was applied to the intervention group by a physiotherapist, for 40 min 5 times a week during their hospitalisation. Patients in the control group were asked to perform an unsupervised functional level-based exercise program which was described by the physiotherapist during the first visit. MAIN MEASURES Mobility, physical activity level and health-related quality of life were assessed at admission and discharge in both groups. Depression status was evaluated at admission and 3 months after discharge. RESULTS Sociodemographic features between intervention group (n = 62) and control group (n = 62) were similar. The intervention group showed a higher increment in mobility, physical activity level and quality of life scores than the control group (d = 0.62, p < 0.05; d = 0.57, p < 0.05; d = 1.12, p < 0.05 respectively). Inpatients in the intervention group, depression scores were lower 3 months after discharge (d = 0.42, p < 0.05). The length of stay in the hospital was not different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS A supervised functional level-based exercise program is more effective than an unsupervised functional level-based exercise program for mobility, physical activity, depression and quality of life in elderly inpatients. These positive contributions are seen within a short period like a 5 to 10 days stay in hospital. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov(NCT03516032).

Abstract
Aims — We aimed to study the medications used by older adults for any potentially inappropriate medications. Material and Methods — A hundred and four consecutive subjects over 65 years of age who visited our clinic were enrolled in the study. Possible inappropriate medications were defined according to Beers Criteria. Results — A total of 57 women and 49 men were enrolled in the study. Mean ages of the women and men were 78.6±6.1 years and 77.4±5.4 years, respectively (p=0.30). While 18 subjects (17%) had no increased risk due to inappropriate use of medications, 30 were on inappropriate medications that increased renal failure risk, 5 were on inappropriate medication that amplified neurological side effects, 12 were on inappropriate medications that augmented bleeding risk, 20 were on inappropriate medication that lack safety and efficacy data, and 30 were on inappropriate medication that amplified the risk of falls. The number of increased risks according to Beers Criteria was significantly and positively correlated with number of medications used (r=0.366, p<0.001) and the number of comorbidities (r=0.312, p=0.001). Conclusion — The number of increased risks due to inappropriate use of medicines in older adults is positively correlated with the number of medicines used and the number of accompanied diseases. Therefore we suggest that the medicines used by older people should be reviewed in all settings, and unnecessary drugs should be avoided to be prescribed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report short-term functional outcomes of patients incident to dialysis undergoing inpatient rehabilitation within 3 months of dialysis initiation. DESIGN Retrospective observation study using prospectively collected data. SETTING Single-center, hospital-based geriatric dialysis rehabilitation unit. All patients incident to hemodialysis admitted to the geriatric dialysis rehabilitation unit between May 2002 and April 2016 were identified using a retrospective observational design. Clinical and demographic data were collected prospectively and linked, using the unique hospital number and dates of admission and discharge, to FIM scores (used to assess functional recovery) at admission and discharge. PARTICIPANTS Patients (N=449; mean age ± SD, 74±9y) newly started on hemodialysis (within 3mo). INTERVENTIONS Inpatient rehabilitation care, short daily dialysis therapy with nephrologist support, and geriatrician assessment. MAIN OUTCOMES Change in FIM score; discharge location. RESULTS Patients were admitted within 3 months of hemodialysis initiation. The median length of stay in the rehabilitation program was 43 days (25th and 75th quartile, 33-55 days). Of those with complete data (n=370), 95% had improvement in FIM scores (median changes in total FIM score 25 [quartiles, 16, 33]; in motor FIM 23 [quartiles, 15, 32]; and in cognitive FIM 1 [quartiles, 0, 3], respectively). Most improvement was seen in transfer abilities, grooming, and mobility. A total of 324 patients (72%; 95% CI, 68%-76%) were discharged to a private home. An additional 11 were discharged to a seniors' residence. CONCLUSION The data suggest that older patients incident to dialysis with functional decline respond well to specialized rehabilitation care and suggest this may be a novel approach to dialysis initiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether patients who received rehabilitation services had an increased risk of having late-life depressive or anxiety symptoms within the year following termination of services. METHODS The National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) is a population-based, longitudinal cohort survey of a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65years and older. This study involved 5,979 participants from the 2016 NHATS survey. The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item assessed for clinically significant depressive and anxiety symptoms. RESULTS The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms was higher in older adults who had received rehabilitation services in the year prior and varied by site: no rehabilitation (depressive and anxiety symptoms): 10.4% and 8.8%; nursing home or inpatient rehabilitation: 38.8% and 23.8%; outpatient rehabilitation: 8.6% and 5.5%; in-home rehabilitation: 35.3% and 20.5%; multiple rehabilitation sites: 20.3% and 14.4%; and any rehabilitation site: 18.4% and 11.8%. In multiple logistic regression analyses, nursing home and inpatient and in-home rehabilitation services, respectively, were associated with an increased risk of having subsequent depressive symptoms (odds ratio: 3.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.85-6.63; OR: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.08-4.30) but not anxiety symptoms. CONCLUSION Older adults who receive rehabilitation services are at risk of having depressive and anxiety symptoms after these services have terminated. As mental illness is associated with considerable morbidity and may affect rehabilitation outcomes, additional efforts to identify and treat depression and anxiety in these older adults may be warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Little is known about the current representative depression situation among Chinese older inpatients. The aim of this study is to examine prevalence of depression and associated risk factors among Chinese older inpatients by a large-scale cross-sectional national survey. METHODS This study is based on baseline survey data from a large-scale cohort study in a representative sample of Chinese older inpatients. The procedure of this study involves physical examination and face-to-face questionnaire interviews. Depression was assessed based on the Geriatric Depression Scale 15. Mixed-effect Poisson regression model was used to examine the relationship between depression and covariates by controlling the cluster effect of hospital wards. RESULTS Of all 9727 respondents, the mean age of all respondents was 72.4±5.7 years, from 65 to 97. The average GDS score was 2 (1, 4). The prevalence rate of depression was 16.7% (95%CI: 15.8-17.4%) among older inpatients. The prevalence rates were 14.6% for males and 19.5% for females respectively. After controlling the cluster effect of hospital wards, age, gender, ADL score, educational level, BMI, frail, marriage, falls, alcohol drinking, cognitive function, living conditions, vision, hearing, sleep and defecation function were associated with depression. Emaciation (OR=1.176, 95%CI: 1.107-1.249), frail (OR=1.562, 95%CI: 1.489-1.639), divorced or widowed (OR=1.083 95%CI: 1.017-1.153), living in the bungalow (OR=1.075, 95%CI: 1.023-1.130), falls (OR=1.078, 95%CI: 1.030-1.128), cognitive function (OR=1.142, 95%CI: 1.091-1.195), vision dysfunction (OR=1.125, 95%CI: 1.076-1.177), hearing dysfunction (OR=1.061, 95%CI: 1.011-1.113), sleep dysfunction (OR=1.237, 95%CI: 1.194-1.282), defecation dysfunction (OR=1.160, 95%CI: 1.103-1.221) could increase prevalence risk of depression. CONCLUSIONS There was a high prevalence of depression among Chinese older inpatients. Demographic characteristics, physical and mental conditions indicators have strong effect on prevalence and strength of depression. Therefore, it is essential to assess depression and perform comprehensive measures to improve physical and mental conditions in order to manage depressive symptoms in older inpatients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate post-stroke depression (PSD) and cognitive impairments in patients with different types of cerebral infarction.A total of 110 patients with cerebral infarction treated in our hospital from January 2015 to February 2016 were included in present study. Forty-seven patients were PSD patients and 63 patients were non-PSD patients. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were employed to assess depression and cognition of patientsAmong PSD patients, the proportion of patients with partial anterior circulation infarction (PACI, 68.75%) was significantly higher than patients with lacunar circulation infarction (LACI, 29.17%) and posterior circulation infarction (POCI, 26.67%) (P < .05). No significant difference was found in PSD patients with LACI and POCI (P > .05). The MMSE score of patients with PACI (18.05 ± 2.61) was lower than patients with POCI and LACI (P < .05), however, no significant difference was found in patients with LACI and POCI (P > 0.05). The incidences of cognitive impairment in patients with PACI, LACI, and POCI were 12.50%, 14.58%, and 13.33%, respectively. The MMSE score of PSD patients (21.23 ± 2.12) was significantly lower than non-PSD patients (P < .05).Compared with LACI and POCI patients, PACI patients had a higher incidence of PSD and impaired cognitive functions. In addition, affective disorders such as depression may be correlated with cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poststroke depression (PSD) is a common form of stroke patients. Whether the risk of PSD is influenced by the stroke lesion location and sex remains a matter of debate. The objective of this study was to examine the association between the risk of PSD and the stroke lesion location and sex by performing a systematic meta-analysis. METHODS Subgroup analyses were performed according to the time interval after stroke onset to assessment for PSD. A total of 31 reports involving 5,309 subjects (for lesion location analysis) and 5,489 subjects (for sex analysis) suffering from stroke were included in this meta-analysis. RESULTS The pooled odds ratio (OR) of PSD after a left-hemisphere stroke, compared with a right-hemisphere stroke was 1.11 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.82-1.49) and OR of PSD after a male stroke, compared with a female stroke was 0.68 (95% CI 0.58-0.81). Subacute poststroke subgroup (1-6 months) significantly favored PSD occurring after a left hemisphere stroke (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.21-1.87). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant association between PSD and female stroke for studies with acute poststroke group (OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.62-0.86) and subacute poststroke stroke phase (OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.56-0.86). CONCLUSIONS This systematic review suggests that patients with left hemisphere stroke may be more susceptible to PSD during subacute phase of stroke and female stroke may be more susceptible to PSD during acute and subacute phase of stroke.

Abstract
Background: Stroke not only impacts patients physically but also economically. Post-stroke depression (PSD), as a common complication of stroke, always obstructs the process of stroke rehabilitation. Accordingly, defining the risk factors associated with PSD has extraordinary importance. Although there have been many studies investigating the risk factors for PSD, the results are inconsistent. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to identify the risk factors for PSD by evidence-based medicine. Data sources: A systematic and comprehensive database search was performed of PubMed, Medline, CENTRAL, EMBASE.com, the Cochrane library and Web of Science for Literature, covering publications from January 1, 1998 to November 19, 2016. Study Selection: Studies on risk factors for PSD were identified, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The risk of bias tool, described in the Cochrane Handbook version 5.1.0, was used to assess the quality of each study. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: Thirty-six studies were included for review. A history of mental illness was the highest ranking modifiable risk factor; other risk factors for PSD were female gender, age (<70 years), neuroticism, family history, severity of stroke, and level of handicap. Social support was a protective factor for PSD. Conclusion: There are many factors that have effects on PSD. The severity of stroke is an important factor in the occurrence of PSD. Mental history is a possible predictor of PSD. Prevention of PSD requires social and family participation.

Abstract
Hip fracture is common in the elderly and it is usually associated with comorbidities and physiological changes which may have an impact on functioning and quality of life. The concept of resilience may explain why this impact varies among patients. The aim of this open, prospective cohort study was to explore the relationships between resilience, frailty and quality of life in orthopedic rehabilitation patients, and also to assess whether these factors might affect rehabilitation outcome. Eighty-one patients, older than 60 years, underwent a multidisciplinary assessment at the beginning and at the end of the rehabilitation period following orthopedic surgery to the lower limb. The assessments were performed using the Resilience Scale, the Multidimensional Prognostic Index (as a measure of frailty), the WHO Quality of Life-BRIEF, the Geriatric Depression Scale, and the Functional Independence Frailty and resilience in an older population. The role of resilience during rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery in geriatric patients with multiple comorbidities Measure (as a measure of the rehabilitation outcome). A negative correlation between disability and resilience emerged and this association interacted with frailty level. We also found that resilience and quality of life are positive predictors of functional status at discharge.

Abstract
Depression among hospitalized patients is often unrecognized, undiagnosed, and therefore untreated. Little is known about the feasibility of screening for depression during hospitalization, or whether depression is associated with poorer outcomes, longer hospital stays, and higher readmission rates. We searched PubMed and PsycINFO for published, peer-reviewed articles in English (1990-2016) using search terms designed to capture studies that tested the performance of depression screening tools in inpatient settings and studies that examined associations between depression detected during hospitalization and clinical or utilization outcomes. Two investigators reviewed each full-text article and extracted data. The prevalence of depression ranged from 5% to 60%, with a median of 33%, among hospitalized patients. Several screening tools identified showed high sensitivity and specificity, even when self-administered by patients or when abbreviated versions were administered by individuals without formal training. With regard to outcomes, studies from several individual hospitals found depression to be associated with poorer functional outcomes, worse physical health, and returns to the hospital after discharge. These findings suggest that depression screening may be feasible in the inpatient setting, and that more research is warranted to determine whether screening for and treating depression during hospitalization can improve patient outcomes. Journal of Hospital Medicine 2017;12:118-125.

Abstract
Stroke leads to a variety of pathophysiological conditions such as ischemic infarct, cerebral inflammation, neuronal damage, cognitive decline, and depression. Many endeavors have been tried to find the therapeutic solutions to attenuate severe neuropathogenesis after stroke. Several studies have reported that a decrease in the neuropeptide regulator ‘galanin’ is associated with neuronal loss, learning and memory dysfunctions, and depression following a stroke. The present review summarized recent evidences on the function and the therapeutic potential of galanin in post-ischemic stroke to provide a further understanding of galanin's role. Hence, we suggest that galanin needs to be considered as a therapeutic factor in the alleviation of post-stroke pathologies.

Abstract
Late-life relocation to independent living communities is increasing, especially among women. This study described the impact of relocation on the health and well-being of 31 older women who moved from a private residence to an independent living community. Schumacher and Meleis’ (1994) nursing model of transition guided the study. Health status, social activity, self-esteem, depression, and quality of life were measured pre- and postmove. Post-move women reported a significant increase in engagement in social activities and higher quality of life. Participants’ levels of self-esteem, depression, and quality of life were found to correspond with three relocation transition styles: full integration, partial integration, and minimal integration. These preliminary findings suggest that nurses who identify older women with low self-esteem, high depressive symptoms, and low quality of life pre-move may be at risk for poor relocation outcomes. Interventions to ease the transition process and improve relocation adjustment are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately one-third of stroke survivors suffer from post-stroke depression (PSD) in the acute or chronic stages. The presence of PSD in the acute stage after stroke is reportedly associated with poor patient prognosis; therefore, early recognition and treatment of PSD may alleviate these consequences. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between the lesion location and the presence of early depressive symptoms after acute ischemic stroke in Japanese patients. METHODS Our study included 421 patients who suffered from acute ischemic stroke. On the day of admission, the lesion location was determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Stroke severity was measured on the seventh day of hospitalization withat the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). On the tenth day of hospitalization, depressive symptoms were measured and functional assessments were performed with the Japan Stroke Scale (Depression Scale) (JSS-D) and functional independence measure (FIM), respectively. RESULTS A total of 71 subjects (16.9 %) were diagnosed with depression. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, the infarcts located at frontal and temporal lobes were found to be a significant independent risk factor of early depressive symptoms in the acute stage of stroke. CONCLUSIONS Patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes, should be carefully assessed to detect and treat early depressive symptoms; such treatment may improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
AbstractWe used desk-based tasks to evaluate and clarify the effects of colour lightness differences (Liebmann effect) in patients with left unilateral spatial neglect (USN) following stroke. Participants were 30 adults with USN (16 men and 14 women; mean age = 72.3 years, SD = 8.9 years). They took the ‘Letter Cancellation Test’ of the Japanese version of the Behavioral Inattention Test using two types of paper: black letters with a yellow background (‘black on yellow’) and red letters with a green background (‘red on green’). They also took the Line Bisection Test and their laterality index (LI) was also determined. Paired t-tests were computed comparing the LI by colour displays. LI was higher for ‘black on yellow’ than for ‘red on green’ in patients with mild left USN. However, LI for ‘red on green’ was higher in patients with severe left USN. Colour lightness differences are likely on the left side in patients with relatively mild left USN, but not in those with severe left USN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression after stroke is one of the most serious complications of stroke. Although many studies have shown that the length of hospital stay (LOHS) is a measurable and important stroke outcome, research has found limited evidence concerning the effect of depression on LOHS among patients who have experienced acute stroke. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of depression on LOHS among patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke in Japan. METHODS We retrospectively examined 421 patients who had experienced acute ischemic stroke. Stroke severity was measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on the 7th day of hospitalization. On the 10th day of hospitalization, depressive symptoms and functional assessment were assessed by the Japan Stroke Scale (Depression Scale) and the Functional Independence Measure, respectively. A general linear model was employed to assess the effect of probable depression on LOHS. RESULTS The prevalence of probable depression in the current sample was 16.3% in males and 17.8% in females. The mean LOHS of participants with probable depression (76.4±49.2 days) was significantly longer than that of participants without probable depression (44.9±39.2 days). An analysis using the general linear model to assess the effect on LOHS revealed a significant interaction between the presence of probable depression and NIHSS scores. CONCLUSION Depression after stroke was associated with significant increases in LOHS. Early detection and treatment for depression are necessary for patients with ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent problem in stroke rehabilitation. Several studies have evaluated association between the lesion location and the risk of depression. Different conclusions and contradictory findings have been published. The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between PSD and lesion location. We researched PubMed, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE, and systematically reviewed available publications reporting investigations on stroke location and risk of PSD. Subgroup analyses were performed according to the time since stroke onset to assessment for PSD or the source of patients. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used for pooled analyses. Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochran's Q test and I (2) test. Begg's funnel plot and Egger's test were used to examine the publication bias. A total of 43 studies involving 5,507 patients suffering from stroke were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled OR with 95 % CI for the overall association of stroke location and depression risk was 0.99 (0.88-1.11). Subgroups analyses highlighted that only studies with subacute post-stroke group (1-6 months) showed a statistical association between right hemisphere stroke and risk of depression (OR = 0.79, 95 % CI 0.66-0.93). This systematic review offered no support for the hypothesis that lesion of the left hemisphere was associated with an increased risk of depression after stroke. We only find significant association between right hemisphere stroke and incidence of depression for studies within subacute post-stroke phase.

Abstract
Depression is related to disability and affects rehabilitation participation, outcomes, and compliance with treatment. Improving older adult depression detection and referral requires knowledge, skills, supportive organizational policies, and access to mental health experts. This review provides a selected overview of evidence-based approaches for screening of suspected cases of depression in older adults by physical therapists and other non-mental health professionals and discusses procedures to refer suspected cases to primary care providers and/or mental health specialists for evaluation, including resources and a tool to assist in communicating depression-related information to the primary care provider or mental health specialist. We hope that this review will promote the incorporation of evidence-based screening and referral of suspected cases of depression in older adults into routine practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is commonly observed among stroke survivors. However, statistical analysis of such data is scarce in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of PSD and its relationship with stroke characteristics in China. METHODS This was a prospective hospital-based study. Stroke patients were assessed within two weeks after acute ischemic stroke onset and then reevaluated at three months. Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) was used for screening depression (PSD). Subjects with HAMD score of ≥7 were further assessed with the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Stroke severity was measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Stroke outcome was measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). RESULTS One hundred and two stroke patients were recruited, only ninety-one patients completed del period (men = 53, 63.74%), with mean age 60.0±10.4 years (range, 34-82 years). The incidence of PSD was 27.47% two weeks after stroke. The occurrence of PSD was unrelated with age, stroke type, stroke lesion and the history of disease. In univariate analysis gender, PSD was correlated with female gender. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, poor stroke outcome (mRS≥3) (OR 12.113, CI 1.169 to 125.59, P<0.05) was the important predictors of PSD. CONCLUSIONS The study indicated that gender, functional dependence and stroke outcome are determinants of PSD occurrence during the first 2 weeks after stroke in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine characteristics associated with functional recovery in older patients undergoing postacute rehabilitation. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Postacute rehabilitation facility. PARTICIPANTS Patients (N=2754) aged ≥65 years admitted over a 4-year period. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Functional status was assessed at admission and again at discharge. Functional recovery was defined as achieving at least 30% improvement on the Barthel Index score from admission compared with the maximum possible room for improvement. RESULTS Patients who achieved functional recovery (70.3%) were younger and were more likely to be women, live alone, and be without any formal home care before admission, and they had fewer chronic diseases (all P<.01). They also had better cognitive status and a higher Barthel Index score both at admission (mean ± SD, 63.3±18.0 vs 59.6±24.7) and at discharge (mean ± SD, 86.8±10.4 vs 62.2±22.9) (all P<.001). In multivariate analysis, patients <75 years of age (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-1.98; P=.003), women (adjusted OR=1.24; 95% CI, 1.01-1.52; P=.045), patients living alone (adjusted OR=1.61; 95% CI, 1.31-1.98; P<.001), and patients without in-home help prior to admission (adjusted OR=1.39; 95% CI, 1.15-1.69; P=.001) remained at increased odds of functional recovery. In addition, compared with those with moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score <18), patients with mild-to-moderate impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score 19-23) and those cognitively intact also had increased odds of functional recovery (adjusted OR=1.56; 95% CI, 1.13-2.15; P=.007; adjusted OR=2.21; 95% CI, 1.67-2.93; P<.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Apart from sociodemographic characteristics, cognition is the strongest factor that identifies older patients more likely to improve during postacute rehabilitation. Further study needs to determine how to best adapt rehabilitation processes to better meet the specific needs of this population and optimize their outcome.

Abstract
We investigated the hypothesis that religious commitment could help counter general affective distress, accompanying depressive symptoms, in older age. A total of 34 older adults, all catholic believers, completed self-reported questionnaires on the presence of depressive symptoms, religiosity, health, worry, and the style of coping with stress. The depressive and non-depressive subgroups were then created. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 50%, with the substantial predominance of females. Regression analyses indicate that health expectations and worry significantly worsen with increasing intensity of depressive symptoms. The results further show that religious engagement was not different between the depressive and non-depressive subgroups. Religiosity failed to influence the intensity of depressive symptoms or the strategy of coping with stress in either subgroup, although a trend was noted for better health expectations with increasing religious engagement in depressive subjects. We conclude that religiosity is unlikely to significantly ameliorate dysphoric distress accompanying older age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression occurs in approximately one-third of patients following stroke based on studies that screen entire stroke populations. Less is known about the detection and treatment of post stroke depression (PSD) in routine clinical practice. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of 7643 consecutive stroke patients >66 years of age, from 13 designated stroke centres in Ontario, Canada. PSD was defined as (a) presence of strong evidence of depression documented in the patient chart plus a prescribed antidepressant and a psychiatric consult, or (b) prescription of a new antidepressant following admission. The prevalence of PSD was determined and patients with and without PSD were compared on a variety of measures. Patients admitted to specialized stroke units were compared to patients admitted to standard units in order to determine if PSD detection and treatment rates differed. RESULTS PSD was diagnosed in 4.8%, and 6.7% were treated with a new antidepressant. Patients with PSD had more severe strokes, more functional handicap, longer hospital stays and were less likely to be discharged home (all p < 0.001). Patients admitted to specialized stroke units were more likely to be diagnosed with depression (5.2% vs 4.0%, p < 0.014) and were more likely to receive a new prescription for an antidepressant (7.8% vs 4.5%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Rates of diagnosed and treated PSD in routine clinical practice are low and appear significantly lower than those from studies that utilize active screening of entire stroke populations. These results support the routine screening of all patients for PSD using validated instruments. Specialized stroke unit care may improve PSD detection and treatment rates.

Abstract
Faith could dampen Post-Stroke Depression (PSD), which may negatively influence recovery. The present pilot study is an initial examination of the role of religion and spirituality on the functional recovery after a recent stroke. Data were analyzed from 112 consecutive stroke inpatients, who underwent a 2-month standard rehabilitation program. All participants received the Royal Free Interview (RFI), a semi-structured interview for religious and spiritual beliefs, and were assessed on their mood with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Functional status was measured by means of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). The relationship between religious beliefs, mood improvements, and functional recovery was explored by means of a multiple linear regression. No association between faith and recovery of functional independence could be verified, neither religiousness as a "coping strategy" was associated with functional recovery in this study. An explorative study of a larger size, which also takes into consideration the cultural background and religious beliefs of all patients, is warranted in the longterm.

Abstract
The objective was to identify the predictors of length of stay--the impact of age, comorbidity, and stroke subtype- on the outcome of geriatric stroke patients. One hundred and seventy stroke patients (129 first-ever ischemic, 25 hemorrhagic, and 16 ischemic second strokes) were included in the study. The Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification for clinical subtypes of ischemic stroke patients and the Charlson comorbidity index were used to evaluate comorbidity. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores were noted on admission and at discharge. Comparison of the patients below and over 65 years revealed that elderly patients had higher comorbidity scores, were more likely to be prematurely discharged, and were less likely to be successfully rehabilitated despite similar FIM scores on admission. Excluding premature discharges, FIM scores on admission emerged as the only predictor of length of stay. Age, stroke type, lesion characteristics, and comorbidities are not significant associates of prolonged length of stay. Results and limitations inherent to our study and similar stroke studies are discussed within the context of rehabilitation differences among rehabilitation centers and countries.

Abstract
Robotic devices for therapy have the potential to enable intensive, fully customized home rehabilitation over extended periods for individuals with stroke and traumatic brain injury, thus empowering them to maximize their functional recovery. For robotic rehabilitation to be most effective, systems must have the capacity to assign performance goals to the user and to increment those goals to encourage performance improvement. Otherwise, individuals may plateau at an artificially low level of function. Frequent goal change is needed to motivate improvements in performance by individuals with brain injury; but because of entrenched habits, these individuals may avoid striving for goals that they perceive as becoming ever more difficult. For this reason, implicit, undetectable goal change (distortion) may be more effective than explicit goal change at optimizing the motor performance of some individuals with brain injury. This paper reviews a body of work that provides a basis for incorporating implicit goal change into a robotic rehabilitation paradigm. This work was conducted with individuals without disability to provide foundational knowledge for using goal change in a robotic environment. In addition, we compare motor performance with goal change to performance with no goal or with a static goal for individuals without brain injury. Our results show that goal change can improve motor performance when participants attend to visual feedback. Building on these preliminary results can lead to more effective robotic paradigms for the rehabilitation of individuals with brain injury, including individuals with cerebral palsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the polypharmacy issue and its correlations with socioeconomic variables in Turkish elderly patients. DESIGN Cross-sectional SETTING Outpatient clinics of the medical schools, departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation from 12 provinces. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1430 elderly in different geographical regions of Turkey during January 2007 to January 2008 were included. MEASUREMENTS Patients were interviewed using a questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, current medical diagnosis, and pharmaceuticals that are used by elderly. Demographical parameters were gender, age, marital status, number of children, level of education, province, and status of retirement. RESULTS The mean number of drugs was found to be higher in the females. There was a significant difference among age groups, marital status groups, and the number of children categories. The distribution of the number of drugs among education levels did not differ significantly, whereas the distribution of the number of drugs between the status of retirement and presence of chronic disease differed significantly. CONCLUSIONS Polypharmacy is correlated with various factors including age, sex, marital status, number of children, status of retirement, and presence of chronic medical conditions but not educational status in our study group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES While depression and apathy are common after stroke, past studies have done little to examine the influence of these two symptoms on functional outcome respectively. This study was designed to examine the effect of depression or apathy on functional recovery after stroke in 237 Japanese stroke patients. METHODS We assessed the psychological status using self-rating scales [the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) for depression and the Apathy Scale (AS) for apathy] and an observer-rating scale [the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)]. We assessed physical disability using the Functional Independence Measurement (FIM). Post-hoc test and multiple regression analysis were used to determine the independent effects of post-stroke depression and apathy on functional outcome. RESULTS Depression was observed in 75 (31.6%) using SDS and 88 (40.2%) using NPI, and apathy in 95 (40.1%) using AS and 42 (19.2%) using NPI, respectively. Post-hoc test and multiple regression analysis indicated that the cognitive variable (Mini-Mental State Examination: MMSE score) and AS score, but not SDS score, correlated negatively with improvement in FIM. CONCLUSIONS Apathy might be more frequently associated with functional abilities and likely interact with the recovery process as compared with depression after stroke.
