  1. aOR Adjusted odds ratio; CI Confidence interval; LOS Length of stay; mBI Modified Barthel Index; TCP Transition Care Program
  2. a Likelihood ratio χ2 = 17,794.6, DF = 18, p < 0.001. Excluded: 1048 with missing data, 665 deceased
  3. b Likelihood ratio χ2 = 6235.1, DF = 18, p < 0.001. Excluded: 646 with missing data, 1894 deceased
  4. c Likelihood ratio χ2 = 1893.2, DF = 17, p < 0.001. Excluded: 133 with missing data, 146 deceased
  5. d p > 0.05 after correction for multiple hypothesis testing
  6. e Rounded to 0.1 increments; higher scores denote greater frailty
  7. f Scaled to 10-point increments; higher scores denote greater independence
