Delusions in newly admitted residents of nursing homes
Abstract
Two psychiatrists, using standardized clinical examinations, found that 21% of 125 patients newly admitted to nursing homes had delusions. The psychiatric disorders associated with these delusions are described. Delusional patients were more behaviorally disturbed before admission than nondelusional patients. These behavior problems were often the reason for admission, and they persisted after admission. Nursing home staff members infrequently identified and often inappropriately treated delusional patients. Since delusions are an important potentially treatable cause of behavior problems in nursing home residents, the authors suggest ways to improve the recognition and management of delusions.

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.
