Abstract
Our findings suggest that self-report of depression is an independent predictor of functional outcome in high-tolerance, short-duration geriatric rehabilitation. Routine assessment of depressive symptoms in older adults using an instrument (eg, GDS-15) may help identify those at risk for poorer outcomes in rehabilitation.
