The full UKROC dataset represents the inpatient rehabilitation subset of the Long Term Neurological Conditions dataset. It comprises 30 items of demographic and process' data for each admitted case episode together with: 

  • The Rehabilitation Complexity Scale (as a measure of rehabilitation needs)
  • At least one of an agreed set of outcome measures which include
