Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Lengths of Stay in Canada Derived From the National Rehabilitation Reporting System, 2008 and 2009

Conclusions: FIM motor function scores at admission along with age and geographic region best predicted rehabilitation LOS. These variables explained 20% of the variation in LOSs. Despite regional differences in LOSs, patient characteristics were similar between regions. Other nonpatient factors not captured in these data may contribute to a greater extent in determining stroke rehabilitation LOS.
