Clinical and psychosocial predictors of exceeding target length of stay during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

This exploratory study was limited to findings from one inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Cross-validation of results using data-sets from multiple rehabilitation hospitals across Ontario is recommended. PMID: 28486861 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
