aTotal sample n = 238, n = 6 patients were lost (no contact information or consult), n = 45 did not complete 1-month follow-up. bTotal poor outcome sample n = 78, poor outcome refers to mortality or institutionalization after discharge (permanent care units), with no significant difference between these. cNo significant difference in mortality between while in EDICUM or after discharge.
