Insurance status Discharge location, RRR (95% CI)
Home health Rehabilitation facility Nursing facility
Public 0.91 (0.83–0.99)* 1.20 (1.12–1.29) 1.70 (1.60–1.82)
Uninsured 0.61 (0.57–0.66) 0.46 (0.43–0.50) 0.44 (0.41–0.47)

Multinomial logistic regression with home as reference outcome and privately insured patients as reference group.

The result was not significant in all sensitivity analyses; 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.

RRR, relative risk ratio.
