Abstract

Transitional care programs are one method of providing care to elderly high-risk patients. The aims of this study were to determine if patient characteristics (including number of comorbidities, functional status, and length of stay during initial hospitalization) and social factors (including presence of a caregiver in the home and place of discharge disposition) were associated with increased hospital readmission and mortality for patients discharged from specialized transitional care.

摘要

过渡性护理计划是为老年高危患者提供护理的一种方法。本研究的目的是确定患者特征（包括合并症数量、功能状态和首次住院期间的住院时长）和社会因素（包括家中是否有护理人员以及出院处置地点）是否与从专门过渡性护理出院的患者再次住院率和死亡率增加相关。
