Multivariate linear regression models were used to calculate adjusted mortality and readmission. Data are reported as mean health status measures adjusted for patient demographics (age, gender, race, body mass index, marital status, employment status, living location, pet ownership, medical care payer, usual source of care, financial barriers to health care utilization), medical history (hypertension, depression, previous MI, CHF), clinical presentation and treatment (left ventricular systolic function, creatinine, receipt of ACE inhibitor and beta blockers at discharge), ESSI score, and baseline health status scores.
