Iron deficiency is related to low functional outcome in patients at early rehabilitation after acute stroke

Iron deficiency (ID) is a common co‐morbidity in patients with cardiovascular disease and contributes to impaired functional capacity. The relevance of ID in patients in recovery after acute stroke is not known. We assessed the prevalence of ID and anaemia in relation to functional capacity and to recovery during early rehabilitation after stroke.
