T0 within 48 h after hospitalization; T1 3 months after hospitalization; B unstandardized results; ß standardized results; SE standard error; multilevel analyses included respondents who filled in questionnaire at T0 and T1 only (n = 291); listwise deletion of missing cases resulted in 264 cases for the multilevel regression analyses
