ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To examine hospital discharge destinations for Hispanic and non-Hispanic white patients treated for traumatic brain injury.METHODS:
Retrospective cohort study with patient matching.FINDINGS:
Ethnicity status not determined a significant predictor of discharge destination (P = .2150). Patient hospital length of stay determined a significant predictor of discharge destination (P = .0072), with every 1 day increase in length of stay, resulting in a 12% increase in odds of being discharged to care facility.CONCLUSIONS:
Study data suggest that length of stay can predict discharge destination for both Hispanic and non-Hispanic white patients in a medium-sized trauma center in the Midwest.
