Specialist outpatient visits across 4 quarters post-stroke by disability sub-groups. Estimates taken from Model 3 with following variables in the final model. Service utilization model. Outpatient SOC service: patient age, gender, ethnicity, stroke disability (measured on modified rankin scale), comorbid status. Disability measured using Modified Rankin Scale (mRS): mRS score of 0 to 2 = no or slight disability group, mRS score of 3 to 5 = moderate or severe disability.
