Key result
Patients without post-stroke depression were more likely to show excellent recovery on activities of daily living (OR 1.95; 95% CI 1.01-3.75) and mobility compared to those with depression.
Why the study?

Post-stroke depression may impair functional recovery; this observational link leaves open whether treatment improves ADL outcomes.
Paolucci et al. (2001) conducted a case-control in Stroke (n=290). Post-stroke depression (PSD) vs. Absence of post-stroke depression (PSD-) was evaluated on Excellent recovery on activities of daily living (ADL) (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.01-3.75). Patients without post-stroke depression were more likely to show excellent recovery on activities of daily living (OR 1.95; 95% CI 1.01-3.75) and mobility compared to those with depression.
