Nutritional Status and Functional Outcomes in 60 Stroke Rehabilitation Patients

A prospective observational study of 60 patients with subacute to chronic stroke admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation program, evaluated at baseline and after a 4-week program. The dataset, authored by Esra Şahingöz Bakırcı and last updated in 2026, likely contains clinical, functional, cognitive, and biochemical parameters, including nutritional status assessed via MNA-SF and abdominal muscle thickness measured by ultrasonography.

Use Cases

• Predicting functional independence at discharge based on nutritional risk status and other covariates.
• Analyzing the relationship between abdominal muscle morphology and motor recovery in stroke patients.
• Modeling the impact of a 4-week rehabilitation program on clinical and functional parameters.
• Investigating associations between nutritional screening scores and cognitive or mobility outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes data from 60 patients with longitudinal measurements at two time points.
• Contains multiple assessment types: nutritional (MNA-SF), functional (Barthel Index, FAC, mRS), cognitive (MMSE), and physical (ultrasonography).
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 175.4 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Geographic and institutional source of the patient cohort is unspecified, which may affect generalizability.
