| Abstract Background : stroke is considered a major cause of disability worldwide. Vitamin D had been linked to the cardiovascular health including reduction of stroke risk while its role in stroke outcome have not been fully studied yet so we aimed to find the role of vitamin D in prediction of short term outcome of ischemic stroke .Methods : this prospective cohort study was conducted on 58 patients with their first acute ischemic stroke and underwent assessment of their serum vitamin D and their functional outcome three months later by modified Rankin scale. Results : serum vitamin D had a significant role in prediction of poor short outcome , The mean of vitamin D level in our patients was14.01 ± 8.94ng/ml. Conclusion : the poor short term outcome of stoke at three months can be predicted by presence of hypovitaminosis D so vitamin D supplementation should be taken in consideration when managing ischemic stroke patients . | ||||
