↵* After a mean of 8 days after the onset.
↵† Persistence=no improvement at 6-month follow-up
↵‡ At admittance to hospital: the inability to return to work is the predicted category. The reference category for the type of work is managerial employee. The reference category for aetiology is large-artery atherosclerosis. Managerial employee: occupations typically requiring an academic degree; clerical employee: occupations requiring a vocational degree below the academic degree; employee: manual labour; entrepreneur: for example, practitioners and self-employed persons; student: full-time students.
↵§ At discharge from the acute care unit.
