Results

Total 285 patients agreed to participate. With adjustment by where the patient was admitted from, living alone, Cognitive function scores, and Barthel index, multivariable analysis for each factor following were associated with home discharge: being less informed about LTC insurance; cost of home-visit medical, nursing, or LTC services; shorter hospital stays; close proximity between patient and caregiver; main caregiver being female; and life expectancy of over 6 months (P<0.05).

During the study period, 5882 patients were admitted to the hospital; of them, 3 223 were aged 75 or over, and 312 consented to participate. After excluding 27 patients with no recorded outcome, we included 285 in this study.
