Table 3 –
Unadjusted and adjusted outcomes by transition type
| Transition type | Unadjusted outcome % (95% CI) | Adjusted outcome OR (95% CI) | Adjusted outcome OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-VA hospital | Reference | ||
| to CLC | 15.3 (13.7–17.0) | 2.25 (1.81–2.79) | |
| to CNH | 17.5 (16.0–18.9) | 2.51 (2.09–3.02) | |
| to non-VA SNF | 10.9 (10.8–11.0) | 1.58 (1.41–1.78) | |
| to SVH | 10.5 (9.7–11.3) | 1.43 (1.21–1.70) | |
| VA hospital | 0.80 (0.74–0.86) | ||
| to CLC | 7.5 (7.1–7.8) | Reference | |
| to CNH | 12.3 (11.6–13.1) | 1.72 (1.53–1.95) | |
| to non-VA SNF | 9.8 (9.5–10.1) | 1.32 (1.21–1.44) | |
| to SVH | 9.3 (8.1–10.4) | 1.31 (1.07–1.62) |
OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval. CLC= Community Living Center, CNH = contract nursing home, SNF = skilled nursing facility, SVH = State Veterans Home. The middle column compares VA to non-VA hospitals on the primary outcome; the right column compares transitions to SNFs of different types on the primary outcome.
