Investigating the association between inpatient stroke therapy and disability, destination on discharge, length of stay and mortality: a prospective cohort study using the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme.

Our findings suggest for stroke inpatients requiring therapy, 'More is better' may be overly simplistic. Strong limitations associated with analysis of routine data restrict further robust investigation of the therapy-response relationship. Robust prospective work is urgently needed to further investigate the relationships observed here.
