Background:Independence and reintegration into community roles are important patient-centered outcomes after stroke. Depression and cognitive impairment are common post-stroke conditions that may impair long-term function even years after a stroke. However, screening for these post-stroke comorbidities remains infrequent in stroke prevention clinics and the utility of this screening for predicting long-term higher-level function has not been evaluated.Aims:To evaluate the ability of a validated brief Depression, Obstructive sleep apnea, and Cognitive impairment screen (DOC screen) to predict long-term (2-3 years after stroke) community participation and independence in instrumental activities of daily living post stroke.Methods:One hundred twenty-four patients (mean age, 66.3 [standard deviation = 15.7], 52.4% male) completed baseline depression and cognitive impairment screening at first stroke clinic visit, and telephone interviews 2 to 3 years post stroke to assess community independence (Frenchay Acti...
