Abstract
There was no association between in-hospital mortality and documentation status; however, UIs had a longer average LOS and were less likely to be placed into rehab following their hospitalization. A longer LOS and a decreased likelihood for rehabilitation placement suggest that disparities in trauma care exist for UIs, putting them at risk for worse clinical and functional outcomes.
