The primary outcome was cumulative duration of hospital stay (time between admission and discharge summed across all admissions within 90 days of initial admission, censored at 90 days). Secondary outcomes included emergency department reattendance 3 months after discharge, readmission 1 and 3 months after discharge, quality of life (measured by EQ-5D-5L13 and a 10-point sliding scale questionnaire) and accommodation after discharge. An additional, longer-term impact analysis was performed to assess the cumulative length of stay in patients a year from first admission.
