Effect of stroke early supported discharge on length of hospital stay: analysis from a national stroke registry

Objective The first observational study to investigate the impact of early supported discharge (ESD) on length of hospital stay in real-world conditions.Design Using historical prospective Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) data (1 January 2013–31 December 2016) and multilevel modellin...
