Adjusted Relative Risk Ratio of Discharge Location Compared with White Patients by Race/Ethnicity

Race Discharge location, RRR (95% CI)
Home health Rehabilitation
facility		 Nursing facility
Black 0.92 (0.84–1.00) 0.61 (0.56–0.66) 0.99 (0.92–1.06)
Hispanic 0.37 (0.33–0.42) 0.44 (0.40–0.49) 0.33 (0.30–0.37)

Multinomial logistic regression with home as reference outcome and non-Hispanic, white patients as reference group. Hispanic refers to Non-black Hispanic. n = 136,239 patients who had complete data for all variables in adjusted analysis. Variables adjusted for include: age, sex, insurance status, type of injury, extremity injury, head injury, intentional injury, Injury Severity Score, shock, Glasgow Coma Scale Motor Score, mechanism of injury, trauma level designation, and length of stay.
