Associations with the use of professional care
| Patients n = 187 | Univariate OR (95% CI) | Multivariate OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Values are odds ratios (95% confidence intervals). | ||
| ADL, activities of daily living; BI, Barthel Index; CT, computed tomography; mRS, (modified) Rankin Scale; VE, vascular event. | ||
| All variables in the univariate analysis were adjusted for sex and age. | ||
| *Age was entered as a continuous variable; the increase in hazard is for every 10 years. | ||
| Only variables that were significant (p<0.05) in the univariate analysis were entered in the multivariate analysis. | ||
| †Variable was measured at baseline. | ||
| ‡Variable was measured during follow-up. | ||
| Age*† | 1.6 (1.1 to 2.4) | 1.5 (1.0 to 2.3) |
| Male sex† | 0.7 (0.3 to 1.4) | |
| Minor stroke† | 2.2 (1.1 to 4.3) | 2.0 (1.0 to 4.0) |
| Any infarct on CT scan† | 1.2 (0.6 to 2.5) | |
| New VE‡ | 1.2 (0.6 to 2.6) | |
| Recurrent major stroke‡ | 1.7 (0.7 to 3.8) | |
| Living with partner‡ | 0.9 (0.4 to 1.7) | |
| Dependency in ADL (BI<20) | 4.0 (2.0 to 8.0) | 2.7 (1.2 to 5.9) |
| Moderate to severe handicap (mRS>2) | 4.0 (1.9 to 8.4) | 2.4 (1.0 to 5.6) |
| Comorbidity locomotion‡ | 1.8 (0.9 to 3.6) | |
| Comorbidity cardiac‡ | 1.0 (0.5 to 1.9) | |
