Abstract
Systematic screening for depression using PHQ-2 during hospitalization for acute stroke identified few patients. Most patients with depressive symptoms were identified only at the time of outpatient follow-up. Further study is needed to evaluate the usefulness of other depression screens for stroke patients in the acute hospital setting and the optimal timing for depression screening after stroke.
