  1. a‘Rehabilitation ways’ indicated the DRP tool evaluation results of rehabilitation ways on outpatient rehabilitation treatment, admission to primary healthcare, admission to secondary hospitals, and admission to tertiary hospitals. bRegarding the internal consistency reliability, we used the total sample (N=2115) to analyze the internal consistency reliability of multiple dysfunctions, self-care ability, vital signs, disease status, and disease course. cThe consistency reliability between two doctors was analyzed in part of the sample (N=210), we used these samples to conduct the Kendall test and Kappa test.
