- Brief Summary
Of 403 patients, 94 required physical restraints. The mean age was 84.5 years (standard deviation [SD] 8.2); 44.4% were women. The mean Katz score on admission was 2.7 (SD 2.4). For multiple linear regression analysis, the coefficient of the number of restraints used was -0.024 (95% confidence interval: -0.044, -0.003, p = .022). Consequently, the restraint use for 13.9 days was associated with the decrease in the Katz score by 1.0.
