Abstract
- Objective To identify the prevalence of post stroke depression (PSD) and their socio-demographic and clinical predictors among elderly stroke survivors after hospital discharge to home. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 90 elderly stroke survivors were evaluated 14 days after hospital discharge with the following scales: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Functional Independence Measure, and Geriatric Depression Scale – 15 items (GDS-15). PSD was defined as a score > 5 on GDS-15. After univariate analyses, a multivariate logistic regression model was built to identify independent predictors of PSD. Results Fourteen days after hospital discharge, 27.7% (95%CI 18.1 to 37.2) of elderly stroke survivors had PSD. Functional dependence was the only independent predictor of PSD (OR: 1.04 95%CI: 1.01 to 1.09; p = 0.02). Conclusion After stroke, depressive symptoms are common among elderly survivors. The degree of functional dependency is the main predictor of PSD among elderly stroke patients in Brazil. RESUMO Objetivos Identificar a prevalência de depressão pós-AVC (DPAVC) e seus preditores sócio-demográficos e clínicos nos idosos sobreviventes do acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) após alta hospitalar para casa. Métodos Nesse estudo transversal, 90 idosos sobreviventes do AVC foram avaliados 14 dias após alta hospitalar com as escalas a seguir: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Medida da Independência Funcional (MIF), Escala de Depressão Geriátrica – 15 itens (EDG-15). DPAVC foi definida como escore > 5 na EDG-15. Depois da análise univariada, a regressão logística multivariada foi construída para identificar os preditores independentes da DPAVC. Resultados Quatorze dias após a alta hospitalar, 27,7% (IC95% = 18,1–37,2) dos idosos sobreviventes do AVC tinham DPAVC. A dependência funcional foi o único preditor independente da DPAVC (OR: 1.04 95%CI: 1,01–1,09; p = 0.02). Conclusão Após um AVC, sintomas depressivos são frequentes entre os idosos sobreviventes. O grau de dependência funcional é o principal preditor da DPAVC neste pacientes no Brasil.
