Abstract
Background: In geriatric rehabilitation, functional prognosis informs expectations regarding recovery and discharge planning. Assessing pre-existent comorbidity may aid functional prognosis but existing indices have limitations in older populations. We investigated the predictive validity of the weighted Functional Comorbidity Index (wFCI) for recovery of mobility in an older cohort undergoing rehabilitation.
