  1. CI: Charlson's index, mRS: modified Rankin scale, VEI: very early intervention
  2. *: Chi-square test for categorical variables and t-test for continuous variables.
  3. ¶: Functional severity score is the principal component of patient severity. Larger values indicate more severe patient conditions. Functional capability score is the principal component of patient functional capability. Larger values indicate better function.
