The prospective association of self rated health status and transition three months after stroke with disability at one year and recurrence free survival over five years: multivariable analyses*
| Disability at one year | Recurrence free survival over five years | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Odds ratio | (95% confidence intervals) | p | Hazard ratio | (95% confidence intervals) | p | |
| *All models were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, pre-stroke Barthel Index, and pre-stroke Frenchay Activities Index. Models 2 and 4 controlled also for Barthel Index at three months, Frenchay Activties Index at three months, and Mini Mental State Examination at three months. | ||||||
