Dependency in Activities of Daily Living During the First Year After Stroke

Background: Dependency in personal activities of daily living (ADL) is a common short-term and long-term consequence of stroke and requires targeted rehabilitation. As the duration of hospital stay has become shorter in recent decades, early identification of patients who require rehabilitation has...

The primary independent variable was ADL dependency at 36–48 h after admission to the stroke unit, which was assessed using a Barthel Index (BI) score of ≤90.
