Objective: The primary objective was to determine the association between vitamin D status, baseline function, and short-term inpatient rehabilitation progress.Design: This was a prospective convenience sampling of 100 patients in a tertiary general hospital rehabilitation unit (RU). The cohort comprised men and women of mixed race with a variety of diagnoses (mean age 70 yrs). Patient histories and demographic information were obtained by patient interview and chart review. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) (nmol/L) was measured on or after the day of admission. The Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) instrument, a validated survey tool, was used to measure function at admission and discharge.Results: Eleven percent of the patients were overtly vitamin D deficient, with serum 25OHD concentrations
