a
By cognitive status at admission (N = 246,395).
b
p < .001 for severe cognitive impairment (ref.: moderate).
c
p < .001 for moderate cognitive impairment (ref.: mild).
d
p < .001 for mild cognitive impairment (ref.: intact).
Notes: Means of the percentage of residents whose observed scores were the same Cognitive Function Scale (CFS)or higher than expected scores for all items were compared across groups of who were significantly different for all items as determined by analysis of variance (p < .001). The t tests were used to compare means of items between groups of CFS.
