Data are presented as n, n (%) or mean±sd. IC: integrated care; UC: usual care. Rate of re-admissions during the follow-up year was calculated as the number of re-admissions during the follow-up×number of follow-up days/365. The difference in rate of re-admissions per year is expressed as the number of re-admissions during the follow-up year minus the number of re-admissions in the previous year. Survival without re-admission corresponds to subjects with no re-admission among survivors.
