摘要
The present study investigated impact factors on the length of stay in neurological rehabilitation. 161 patients were enrolled in a six months period. As a major result, admission Barthel Index correlated highly significantly with length of stay (correlation coefficient -0.34). Besides diagnosis and age, gender had a significant influence on the duration, too. While the Barthel did not differ significantly, women stayed 2.9 days longer than men. In summary, the admission Barthel Index predicts length of stay in neurological rehabilitation.
