A systematic literature review of attrition between waves in longitudinal studies in the elderly shows a consistent pattern of dropout between differing studies
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES Longitudinal studies of the elderly are complicated by the loss of individuals between waves due to death or other dropout mechanisms. Factors that affect dropout may well be similar from one study to another. This article systematically reviews all large population-based studies of the elderly (published 1966-2002) that report on differences in individual characteristics between people who remain and people who dropout at follow-up. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A systematic review of articles that investigate attrition after baseline interview. RESULTS Twelve studies were found that investigated dropout other than death using unadjusted, multivariable methods or both. The unadjusted analyses showed many significant factors related to attrition. Multivariable analyses showed two main independent factors were related to increased attrition: increasing age and cognitive impairment. People who were very ill or frail had higher dropout rates, and people in worse health were less likely to be recontactable. CONCLUSIONS Multivariable methods of analyzing attrition in longitudinal studies show consistent patterns of dropout between differing studies, with a small number of key relationships. These findings will assist researchers when planning studies of older people, and provide insight into the possible biases in longitudinal studies introduced by differential dropout.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
