Baseline Characteristics

The average age of the subjects was 86.4 years, and 70 (62.5%) were women, of whom 61 (54.5%) needed care four or more. Eight (7.1%) lived alone.
These background factors did not differ significantly between the groups.

Participant flow

Of the total 764 patients (289 in the intervention group and 475 in the control group) who ultimately met the inclusion criteria and provided consent, a total of 177 patients (99 in the control group and 78 in the intervention group) were referred and admitted to acute care hospitals during the study period. Of these subjects, 140 (58 in the intervention group and 82 in the control group), excluding those who died during hospitalization, were admitted for more than 90 days or otherwise dropped out of the study, of which 112 (45 in the intervention group and 67 in the control group) ultimately obtained valid responses and were included in the analysis.
