A total of 904 patients were included, of whom 80 (8.8%) required an escalation of care. In multivariable analysis, risk of an escalation was significantly higher for patients who were married or had a life partner (HR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.05-3.23, p = .033) for patients admitted with procedure-related disorders (HR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.35-5.05, p = .005) and patients with an increased mortality risk score (HR [per each 1-category increase] = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.39-2.50, p < .001).
