Notes:

1) LOS = length of stay until assessment.

2) Full sample includes 100 controls for every NFT observation. All differences in the full 3-state sample between LOS < 90 day and LOS > =90 were significant at p < .05, except for Task Segmentation and Cancer.

3) Significance: * = p < .05; ** = p < .0001.

4) Arkansas-narrow and Arkansas-broad criteria not used in logistic regressions.
