Notes:
Unadjusted odds ratios were obtained by conditional logistic regression within strata of matching factors (hospital and 6-month time period).
Adjusted odds ratios were obtained by conditional logistic regression within strata of matching factors (hospital and 6-month time period) and adjusted for age, sex, race, Medicaid coverage, incontinence, confusion/delirium, risk of nutrition-related complications, functional impairment, nursing home residence before hospital admission, and Charlson comorbidity score.
ICU = intensive care unit; ED = emergency department.
