This presentation examines the relationship between length of stay and fall risk status among individuals with acquired brain injury

Upon completion participants will be able to describe challenges in evaluating the relationship between length of stay and patient outcomes
Upon completion participants will describe how the rate of low fall risk achievement differs between groups of individuals with acquired brain injury based on admission functional status
Upon completion participants will be able to describe the instantaneous hazard of achieving low risk for fall status by admission days
