Prediction of discharge status of persons with brain injury in rehabilitation.
The present study sought to identify the factors as well as what would predict discharge of persons with brain injury. Demographics (age, pre-injury educational level, pre-injury occupational status) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) scores during admission and upon discharge were used for discharge status prediction. A multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) revealed that the DRS scores at admission and upon discharge were significant predictors that correctly classified 72% of grouped cases.
