Fig 5. Nomogram for estimating the probability of home discharge for cases admitted from home.

Draw a vertical line upward from the corresponding value of each predictor to the points bar to obtain the points for each item. Based on the sum of the points for each item, draw a vertical line downward from the corresponding sum of the points to calculate the probability of home discharge. ADL were defined as the 10 components of the Barthel index (feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toilet use, transfers from bed to chair, mobility on level surfaces, and stairs). Malnutrition was defined as a serum albumin level of 3.0 g/dL or less, parenteral nutrition, or tube feeding at admission. Respiratory support included high-flow nasal cannula, noninvasive ventilation, and invasive mechanical ventilation.
