  1. All models are adjusted for sex, swiss citizenship, admission from home, age group (using restricted cubic splines), Nr of Diagnoses, Admission type, Insurance class and hospital class; Nr of Diagnoses excluded Diagnoses in the first decile or the Blazsik/Beeler-Reference respectively; a LOS, 30-Day Readmission and ICU-LOS excluded patients who deceased during their stay; b 30-day readmission was additionally adjusted for LOS; c ICU-LOS only included patients being admitted to an ICU.
  2. Abbreviations: LOS = length of stay; ICU = intensive care unit; OR = odds ratio;
