Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. How to calculate DAH30 (days alive and out-of-hospital at day 30): Has patient died in hospital or after discharge on any day within the first 30-days after randomization? If YES we will give 0 points Is the patient discharged from hospital on Day 5 after randomization but is subsequently readmitted for 5-days before their second hospital discharge? If YES we will give 20 points Is patient in a post- discharge nursing facility? If YES: we won’t consider as days at home.
