Standardized regression coefficients refer to how many standard deviations a dependent variable will change per standard deviation increase in the predictor variable. Dependent variables are summary ability scores. All variables except hospitalization are treated as continuous. Coefficients are adjusted for age and sex. All values are <0.001.
