  1. asHR Adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio; CI Confidence interval; LOS Length of stay; TCP Transition Care Program
  2. a Wald χ2 = 4948.9, DF = 17, p < 0.001. Excluded: 1005 with missing data
  3. b Wald χ2 = 5543.0, DF = 17, p < 0.001. Excluded: 681 with missing data
  4. c Wald χ2 = 1346.1, DF = 16, p < 0.001. Excluded: 136 with missing data
  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
