Abstract

Background: Institutionalization is the most important milestone in the care of dementia patients. This study was aimed at identifying relevant predictors of institutionalization in a broad empirical context and interpreting them on the basis of the predictor model proposed by Luppa et al. [Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 2008;26:65-78]. Methods: At the start of this study, 357 patients with mild to moderate dementia were examined by their general practitioners, and a telephone interview was conducted with their caregivers. Four years later, the outcomes ‘institutionalization' and ‘death' were determined from health insurance data. Forty-one variables were examined for their predictive influence by univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Results: The risk of institutionalization increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) with older ages of patients [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.05] and caregivers (HR = 1.03), a higher educational level of the caregiver (HR = 1.83), greater use of community health services (HR = 1.59), greater caregiver burden (HR = 1.02), and when the caregiver and patient lived apart (HR = 1.97). Conclusion: The results show that there is a multifactorial influence on institutionalization of dementia patients by sociodemographic, health-related, and psychological aspects as well as the care situation, thus validating the predictor model by Luppa et al. [Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 2008;26:65-78]. Caregiver burden was found to be the strongest predictor accessible to interventions.

Figures

Fig. 1 Capital letters represent variables in the model by Luppa et al. [49]. Variables in our study are in parentheses (…), 39 variables are shown (the adjustment variables study arm B and C are excluded). Significant predictors from our multivariate analysis are given in bold. Some variables cannot be assigned to the predictor model by Luppa et al. [49]: EQ-5D (P), Incalzi Comorbidity Index, antidementia drugs, psychopharmaceutical drugs, and nonpharmacological therapy. Black boxes contain suggestions for modifications of the model by Luppa et al. [49]. Arrows indicate shifts within the modifications. P = Patient; CG = caregiver.

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.
