Predicting length of stay in patients admitted to stroke rehabilitation with severe and moderate levels of functional impairments.

ABSTRACT: Severe stroke patients are known to be associated with larger rehabilitation length of stay (LOS) but other factors besides severity may be contributing. We aim to identify LOS predictors within a population of mostly severe patients and analyze the impact of socioeconomic situation in functionality at admission.A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted including 172 inpatients admitted to a rehabilitation center between 2007 and 2019. Associations with LOS were examined among 30 potential predictor variables using bivariate correlations. Significantly correlated (P < .002, Bonferroni adjustment) variables were entered into 9 different multiple linear regression models.No mild participants were included, 63.37% severe and 36.63% moderate. Most significant LOS determinants we
