Factors Affecting Decisions to Institutionalize Demented Elderly

Lieberman, M. A., Kramer, J. H.·1991·The Gerontologist

Abstract

This study followed 321 community-based patients with documented dementias, 22% of whom were institutionalized after 1 year. Multivariate analyses indicated that none of the patient characteristics, such as level of cognitive, psychiatric, or neurological impairment, predicted institutionalization. Social psychological characteristics, type and number of caregivers, and subjective caregiver distress did predict which patients were ultimately institutionalized. Implications for treatment planning are discussed.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Worsening psychological and physical health in caregivers can adversely impact the individual with dementia, for example by increasing the likelihood of institutionalization of the person with dementia.

    “In addition, worsening psychological and physical health in caregivers can adversely impact the individual with dementia—for example, they increase the likelihood of institutionalization of the person with dementia, which is associated with decreased psychological and physical health and increased mortality in individuals with dementia [11], [12], [13], [14].”

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.
