| In‐Hospital Outcomes | Total Cohort | Young Adults | Midlife Adults |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample, N event/total | 446/8293 | 85/2192 | 361/6101 |
| All‐cause mortality | 1.46 (1.135–1.872) | 1.05 (0.486–2.274) | 1.49 (1.136–1.948) |
| Sample, N event/total | 113/7847 | 10/2107 | 103/5740 |
| Discharged to LTC | 1.65 (1.065–2.544) | 1.11 (0.126–9.812) | 1.61 (1.029–2.508) |
| Long‐term outcomes from discharge | |||
| Sample, N event/total | 1606/7847 | 228/2107 | 1378/5740 |
| Mortality from discharge | 1.68 (1.497–1.882) | 1.78 (1.250–2.546) | 1.61 (1.426–1.814) |
| Sample, N event/total | 961/7847 | 133/2107 | 828/5740 |
| Admitted to LTC | 1.57 (1.350–1.817) | 1.73 (1.085–2.760) | 1.50 (1.279–1.748) |
| Sample, N event/total | 1512/7847 | 351/2107 | 1161/5740 |
| Recurrent stroke/TIA | 1.37 (1.212–1.540) | 1.60 (1.190–2.146) | 1.32 (1.156–1.501) |
| Sample, N event/total | 485/7847 | 44/2107 | 441/5740 |
| Incident dementia | 1.44 (1.165–1.767) | 0.98 (0.415–2.295) | 1.41 (1.136–1.740) |
The in‐hospital outcomes were based on multinomial logistic regression, for which adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) are reported. The long‐term, postdischarge outcomes were based on Cox proportional hazard regression models, for which adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) are reported. The corresponding events and sample sizes are provided for each outcome. LTC indicates long‐term care; and TIA, transient ischemic attack.
