  1. Dependent variable: Mobility, Self-care, Daily Activities, Pain and Anxiety, respectively. Categorical covariate: frailty state. Random effect: participants
  2. Adjusted for age, sex, and NIHSS-score
  3. Range in each dimension: 1–5 points. Positive value in ‘change’ represents a worsening
  4. Relationship between frailty group and EQ-5D-5L dimensions at 3 and 18 months, respectively, and change in score between 3 and 18 months post stroke. Linear mixed effect regression with EQ-5D-5L dimension as dependent variable, frailty category and time between 3 and 18 months and their interaction as categorical covariates, and participant as random effect
