IntroductionDepression may be a frequent sequela after stroke, however, its incidence has rarely been reported. The likelihood of post-stroke depression (PSD) may relate to individual factors including the presence of aphasia, which also complicates PSD diagnosis. The current study’s purpose was to investigate the incidence of PSD symptoms in adults with aphasia, compare it to the incidence of PSD symptoms in adults without aphasia, and to identify potential risk factors for developing PSD in adults with aphasia.MethodIncidence proportions and relative risk were calculated using data compiled from 970 patient records at an urban tertiary care academic institution and comprehensive stroke center throughout the year of 2019. Focusing exclusively on adults with aphasia, the selected variables of age, gender, race, and aphasia severity were used to conduct logistic regression analyses to explore potential risk factors contributing to the development of PSD.ResultsAdults with aphasia were 7.408 times more likely to exhibit PSD symptoms than adults without aphasia. Logistic regression controlling for the presence of aphasia showed a significant relationship between aphasia severity and post-stroke depression symptoms. Adults with aphasia were 2.06 times more likely to experience post-stroke depression symptoms with every 1-point increase in aphasia severity.ConclusionsThese findings align with earlier evidence identifying aphasia as a risk factor for experiencing PSD symptoms and also suggest aphasia severity is proportionate to the risk. This highlights the need for early identification of PSD symptoms in persons with aphasia in order to provide timely interventions.
