Mobility status, nutritional intervention and meal eaten are associated with discharge home: the nutritionDay study in China
Walking unaided was associated with a higher chance of discharge home, particularly in patients receiving artificial nutrition and those with incomplete meal intake. The likelihood of reduced mobility can be estimated by nutritional intervention and meal eaten on the same day. Further studies are required to validate causal inference and improve inpatient mobilization by addressing relevant influencing factors.
