A retrospective study of stroke inpatients was carried out using the discharge Functional Independence Measure (FIM) as the primary outcome measure. Relationships between stroke subtype, rehabilitation impairments, and medical complications on FIM -gain were analyzed. Altogether, 280 datasets including 211 (75.4%) CI and 69 (24.6%) ICH were analyzed. ICH patients were significantly younger than CI patients (55 years ICH vs. 64.0 years CI years, p &lt; 0.001), had a 10-fold higher proportion needing ICU admission (ICH 82.6% vs. CI 7.6%, p &lt; 0.001), and had significantly lower total admission FIM scores (67 points ICH vs. 74 CI points, p = 0.006), with lower motor-FIM scores in particular (38 points ICH vs. 48 points CI, p = 0.003). Significant functional improvements after inpatient rehabilitation, i.e., FIM gain, occurred regardless of stroke subtype (FIM-ICH \u0394 27 vs. FIM-CI \u0394 21, p = 0.05). Despite significantly worse initial stroke severity, ICH patients achieved similar functional gains, independence levels, and return-home rates compared with their CI counterparts after inpatient rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life12091295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,24]],"date-time":"2022-08-24T00:22:48Z","timestamp":1661300568000},"page":"1295","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Impact of Stroke Subtype on Recovery and Functional Outcome after Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Retrospective Analysis of Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2868-2037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rathi","family":"Ratha Krishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Rehabilitation Excellence (CORE), Tan Tock Seng Hospital Rehabilitation Centre, Singapore 569766, Singapore"},{"name":"Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 308232, Singapore"},{"name":"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117597, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edgar Quan Yi","family":"Yeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 308232, Singapore"},{"name":"MOH Holdings, Singapore 099253, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7234-9787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chien Joo","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Woodlands Health, Singapore 768024, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9809-3425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen Sui Geok","family":"Chua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Rehabilitation Excellence (CORE), Tan Tock Seng Hospital Rehabilitation Centre, Singapore 569766, Singapore"},{"name":"Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 308232, Singapore"},{"name":"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117597, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2982","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2020.11.010","article-title":"Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990\u20132019: Update from the GBD 2019 Study","volume":"76","author":"Roth","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
