Outcomes of the total population, medical and surgical populations. (A) Mortality, return to original place of residence, and return to baseline. (B) Functional outcomes among survivors. Error bars represent approximate 95% confidence intervals of the proportions. P < 0.001 (difference between MICU and SICU) for hospital survival, 6-month survival, return to original place of residence, return to baseline, and toileting independently. P = 0.003 (difference between MICU and SICU) for ambulating 10 stairs and cognition. MICU = medical intensive care unit; SICU = surgical intensive care unit.
