Abstract

Long-term care resources would be allocated more cost-effectively if care planning and medical/functional eligibility decisions were grounded more firmly in extant evidence regarding the risk of nursing home placement, hospitalization, functional impairment, and mortality. This article synthesizes the studies that longitudinally assess the predictors of each of these outcomes for the 65 and older population in the United States. A database was assembled containing 167 multivariate analyses abstracted from 78 journal articles published between 1985 and 1998. Findings show that 22 risk factors consistently predict two or more outcomes, including three that predict all four: worse performance on physical function measures not based on activities of daily living, greater illness severity, and prior hospital use. Findings should help prioritize variable selection choices of those setting eligibility criteria, allocating care resources, and doing descriptive studies. Gaps are shown to exist in the understanding of outcome effects of facility, market, policy, and other system attributes.

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.
