OBJECTIVE: For nursing home residents with severe dementia, high-intensity medical treatment offers little possibility of benefit but has the potential to cause significant distress. Nevertheless, mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) transfers have increased in this population. We sought to understand how and why such care is occurring. DESIGN: Mixed methods study, with retrospective collection of qualitative and quantitative data. SETTING: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals...

METHODS: This study was based on the UK Biobank...

OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in the prescribing of end-of-life symptom management medications in long-term care (LTC) homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using routinely collected health administrative data in Ontario, Canada. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: We included all individuals who died in LTC homes between January 1, 2017, and March 31, 2021. We separated the study into 2 periods: before COVID-19 (January 1, 2017, to March 17, 2020) and during COVID-19 (March 18, 2020, to March 31, 2021)...

OBJECTIVES: To identify factors associated with high and low "voice"-or level of input in patient care decisions-among home care workers (HCWs), an often marginalized workforce that provides care in the home to older adults and those with chronic conditions. DESIGN: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional survey assessing experiences of HCWs in caring for adults with heart failure. The survey measured HCWs' voice using a validated, 5-item instrument...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the impact of negative and positive life events on the development of social frailty. DESIGN: Population-based longitudinal study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This study was set in the Japanese community cohort and included 2174 adults aged ≥65 years without social frailty at baseline. METHODS: We assessed the experiences of 6 negative and positive life events (increase in economic difficulties, illness or injury of spouse, death of family or friends, marriage of children or grandchildren, birth of grandchildren or great-grandchildren, and making new friends) in the 15 months after baseline...

OBJECTIVES: Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common and avoidable condition among residents of nursing homes, and their consequences are severe. Reliable and simple identification of high-risk residents is a major challenge for prevention. Available tools like the Braden and Norton scale have imperfect predictive performance. The objective is to predict the occurrence of PUs in nursing home residents from electronic health record (EHR) data. DESIGN: Longitudinal retrospective nested case-control study...

OBJECTIVES: The PoET (Prevention of Error-based Transfers) project seeks to align long-term care (LTC) home informed consent practices to existing legislation, thereby reducing consent-related error-based transfers to acute care. We sought to measure changes in resident-level palliative care provision after participating in the PoET Southwest Spread Project (PSSP), and to identify patient and LTC home characteristics associated with palliative care provision. DESIGN: Quasi-experimental matched (1:1 ratio) cohort study design using linked population-based health administrative data...
