Study Summary

The Nutristroke study's findings revealed a malnutrition scenario in post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. This has highlighted the significance of a correct nutritional status assessment upon admission to a rehabilitation unit.

The aim of Nutristroke2, therefore, is the assessment of nutritional status, dietary intake, dysphagia, the presence of stroke-related sarcopenia, and systemic oxidative status in patients with subacute stroke outcomes before and after rehabilitation treatment.

A secondary aim is to assess whether there is any correlation between nutritional status, dietary intake, dysphagia, sarcopenia, and systemic oxidative status with rehabilitation outcomes.
