The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) provides a standardized measure of stroke severity and is frequently captured to assess 3-month outcome. Other outcome measures have been assessed for the relationship to dependence; a clinically relevant outcome. The relationship between NIHSS score and functional dependence is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between NIHSS score and accepted measures of dependence in surviving ischemic stroke patients.
