Total FIM (points)	102	97.3 (21)	105	96.4 (18.5)	0.19

Discharge destination	106		106		0.52
Home		82 (77)		78 (74)
Not home		24 (23)		28 (26)
Retirement home		7 (7)		3 (3)
Acute care		6 (6)		4 (4)
Convalescent care		6 (6)		8 (8)
Long-term care		4 (4)		13 (12)
Another rehab facility		1 (1)		0 (0)

NOTE: Values are means (standard deviation) for continuous or ordinal variables, and counts (% rounded to the nearest integer) for categorical variables. The p value is for the Mann-Whitney U test and for the chi-square test comparing both groups at discharge.

^*p value is significant, where p<0.017 (Bonferroni-corrected for multiple comparisons).
