*Models adjusted for age, sex, premorbid function, stroke type, stroke severity and history of atrial fibrillation.

†A complication considered incapacitating, life threatening and one that prolongs hospital admission, for example, pneumonia, falls, fever, urinary tract infection, seizures, deep vein thrombosis.
