Multivariate regression analysis adjusted for (in addition to sex) age, education level, living alone, marital status, born in a EU-27 country, living arrangements, ADL dependency, prior stroke according to medical records (last 2 years), consumption of inpatient care the year before stroke (approximating previous and current comorbidity), and level of consciousness at hospital arrival
