Table 3 Multivariable mixed ordinal logistic regression model for the duration of stroke unit stay (≤ 24 h, > 24- ≤ 72 h, or > 72 h) in 3355 patients (random intercept models, random intercept for the 38 centres)

From: Extent of routine diagnostic cardiac work-up at certified German stroke units participating in the prospective MonDAFIS study
