Incidence of Poststroke Depression in Patients With Poststroke Dysphagia

CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that persons with poststroke dysphagia were as, or slightly more, likely to have PSD compared to the general stroke population, and to our knowledge, they establish the first reported incidence of PSD in Medicare patients with dysphagia after AIS. Future research is warranted to further explore the effects of PSD on poststroke dysphagia.PMID:35858266 | DOI:10.1044/2022_AJSLP-21-00346
