From logistic regression models adjusted for hospital (cluster), age, sex, functional and cognitive status on admission, comorbidities, and elective status.
Disability outcome defined as any increase in the number of self-reported basic activities of daily living for which the patient required assistance at discharge compared with 2 weeks prior to admission, or in-hospital death or new long-term care placement; outcome excludes participants missing functional status at the time of hospital discharge.
Delirium outcome excludes participants with prevalent delirium (identified within 24 hours of admission).
Incontinence outcome defined as any self-reported urinary or fecal incontinence at hospital discharge that was not reported in the 2 weeks prior to hospital admission; outcome excludes participants with prevalent incontinence (in the 2 weeks prior to admission).
