Abstract
Using a comprehensive all-payer cohort of surgical patients in New York State we identified an association of dementia with increased rate of discharge to rehabilitation and longer LOS. No difference was identified in the case fatality of the two groups. Policy makers, payers, and physicians should take these findings into account when designing new policies, and when counseling patients.
