Sample size indicates number of patients eligible for follow-up for each time period (i.e. patients alive and consenting, and not lost to follow-up).
Percentages calculated by number of patients utilizing service divided by sample size in each follow-up year.
Reported admissions with missing length of stay data (36 of 811 (4.4%) admissions) had length of stay imputed using the cohort median stay for each admission type (hospital, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation) and admission category (for hospital admissions only). Medians calculated are the median number of days per admission within each year. The total length of stay represents the median total number of days over the entire 5-year follow-up period.
