Model 1: race/ethnicity only. Model 2: adjusted for sociodemographic factors (gender, age, married, Medicare). Model 3: adjusted for sociodemographic factors and case severity (sum of comorbidites, CMG tier, discharge FIM, and LOS). Model 4: adjusted for sociodemographic factors, case severity, and pre-hospitalization living setting (home vs. not home).
