Prediction of motor FIM* at discharge from rehabilitation and at 1 year post-injury for patients with AIS D injuries

Outcome	Motor FIM* at discharge			Motor FIM* at 1 year
Observations used	158			135
Step 1: Pt characteristics: adjusted R2	0.36			0.20
Step 2: Pt characteristics + treatments: adjusted R2	0.54			0.35

*Motor FIM was Rasch-transformed.

**All patient and treatment variables listed in Tables 1 and 2 were allowed to enter the models except ventilator use at admission to rehabilitation and time in PT activities of airway/respiratory management and wound care due to insufficient representation in the group; additional variables allowed to enter model include admission lower extremity motor score (LEMS) and change in LEMS from admission to discharge. Only statistically significant predictors are reported here; a missing variable name means that the variable did not predict any of the outcomes in this table; a blank cell means that the variable was not a significant predictor for the outcome examined.
