Table 4 Statistically significant risk factors and the associated adjusted hazard ratios for an adverse event (defined as non-independent living, hospital readmission, or death at follow up) using the multiple Cox proportional-hazards model.
From: Adverse outcomes following hospitalization in acutely ill older patients
Characteristic | Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P Value |
|---|---|---|
Higher mini-mental state examination score | 0.87 (0.80, 0.95) | 0.0011 |
Independent living before hospitalization | 0.34 (0.15, 0.74) | 0.0063 |
Longer length of stay in hospital | 1.06 (1.03, 1.09) | <0.0001 |
