| Predictors of in-hospital ambulation |
Odds Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Married | 1.64 | 1.10–2.49 |
| Non-religious | 2.19 | 1.34–3.62 |
| Lower NIHSS (per unit change) | 1.62 | 1.39–1.91 |
| No mechanical VTE prophylaxis | 1.62 | 1.02–2.61 |
The model was adjusted for age, race, overweight, baseline ambulatory status, and history of coronary artery disease (significant predicators from univariable analysis).
