aPhysical therapy only, occupational therapy only, or both physical therapy and occupational therapy. CCW= Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit; Ref = reference group; tPA = tissue plasminogen activator.
bInterpretation of estimate among those patients who received any rehabilitation therapy. For example, patients treated in hospital with inpatient rehabilitation unit provides 8.65 more minutes of therapy (8.65; 95% CI = 4.13–13.18) compared with hospital without rehabilitation unit.
