Popis: Abstract Background 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. Methods This observational study enrolled consecutively 746 patients with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke at in‐patient early rehabilitation (age 68 ± 13 years, female 47%, ischaemic stroke 87%). Functional capacity was assessed before and after rehabilitation using Barthel index (reha‐BI), motricity index (MI), trunk control test (TCT), and functional ambulatory category (FAC). ID was defined as ferritin 5 mg/L. Anaemia was defined as Hb
