OBJECTIVE: To identify demographic, medical, and functional factors associated with transfer of @entity64 @entity1 to acute hospital services and/or mortality during @entity64 rehabilitation. DESIGN: Two case-control studies in which logistic regression was used to control for clinical traits associated with differences in likelihood. SETTING: A total of 542 US inpatient and rehabilitation units. @entity1 : A total of 64,471 @entity1 discharged during 1995. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Transfer to an acute hospital service and @entity204 . RESULTS: There were 5847 (9.1%) acute hospital transfers and 320 (0.5%) deaths. Greater disability at admission was associated with higher odds of both acute hospitalization and mortality. @entity1167 , @entity662 , @entity344 , @entity3459 , @entity49 states, and acute renal difficulties increased the relative odds of acute hospitalization from 3.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3-4.2) to 12.7 (95% CI, 9.2-17.6). The likelihood of mortality for @entity1 85 years of age or older was more than 2-fold (2.5; 95% CI, 1.7-3.6) that of @entity1 65 years of age or younger for blacks, it was nearly 2-fold (1.7; 95% CI, 1.3-2.3) compared with whites, after adjusting for clinical differences. CONCLUSION: Higher likelihoods of mortality among older @entity1 versus younger, black @entity1 versus white, and @entity1 with more rather than less disability at admission suggest the need for greater vigilance in monitoring medical status.
