Abstract

It is very useful to have good predictive measures of rehabilitation outcome so that limited resources can be allocated efficiently. This paper reports a cross-validation of a regression equation that predicts length of hospital stay from a patient's admission score on the modified Barthel index. The equation was successful in predicting length of hospital stay in the study.
