Summary

Depression is common among elderly patients hospitalized due to acute conditions like strokes or osteoporotic fractures. It has significant impacts on quality of life, hospitalization rates, and mortality. Although studies have explored depression and its assessment, most focus on non-geriatric or ambulatory populations. This study examined depressive symptoms in elderly patients after a stroke or fracture. We assessed all patients for depression symptoms using the validated Geriatric Depression Scale - 15 item (GDS-15) and searched for contributing factors in each condition.
