Note. N = 4478 after subtraction of seven observations with outlying values for LOS. Overall r2 was 0.368. 1 Legal status was defined as the most restrictive section of the Mental Health Act in force during the first week of the admission. Those detained only under Section 136, Section 5(2) or Section 5(4) were treated as informal. 2 Exponentiated coefficients for age-band are category-based estimates derived from the full regression model. Reference points for age used to generate these estimates were 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years. 3 Reference points for the category-based estimates for the effect of length of the longest previous admission were the median values of log previous LOS in each band.
