  1. aRegarding the indicator of ‘diagnose’, participants could select multiple answers. bRegarding the indicator of ‘dysfunction’, participants could select multiple answers. cOther dysfunctions indicated patients have experienced functional impairments other than cognitive impairment, speech disorders, dysphagia, cardiopulmonary disorders, and movement disorders. d Self-care ability was estimated by using the Longshi-scale, which was approved by the National Standards Commission of China in 2016 as an evaluation method of self-care ability for Activities of Daily Living among disabled people (20162587-T-314). e According to the medical insurance policies, the medical insurance does not cover patients’ hospitalization expenses whose course of disease was more thanthe duration limitation. The duration limitations were diverse in different sampled cities (the duration limitation was 12 months in Shenzhen, Changzhou, Chengdu, Haikou, and Linyi; the duration limitation was 6 months in Hangzhou; the duration limitation was 3 months in Mile).
