The following data were collected: general information, the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS). Latent profile analysis and logistic regression were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean total score of discharge readiness among 356 elderly OVCF patients was 87.53 \u00b1 16.90. Three latent profiles emerged as the optimal model: \u201cModerate Discharge Readiness Group\u201d (15.2%), \u201cHigh Discharge Readiness-Low Personal Status Group\u201d (76.1%), and \u201cLow Discharge Readiness-Low Adaptability Group\u201d (8.7%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that comorbidities, length of stay in hospital, whether first hospitalization, and QDTS scores were factors influencing the potential discharge readiness profiles among elderly OVCF patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Discharge readiness among elderly OVCF patients exhibits significant heterogeneity and is influenced by multifactorial, multilevel factors.
