Abstract
Among older persons discharged to a SNF after an acute hospitalization, the functional course over 6 months was generally poor, with recovery to pre-hospital function observed in only one out of every four cases. Relative to elective major surgery, functional outcomes were worse for non-elective major surgery, critical illness, and other hospitalizations.
