Depression and Functional Mobility Decline in Long Term Care Home Residents with Dementia: a Prospective Cohort Study
Charlene H Chu, Amanda My Linh Quan, Katherine S McGilton. Canadian geriatrics journal : CGJ, 2021-12-01
Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
Residents experienced a statistically significant decline in functional mobility in as soon as 60 days. Each additional year of age was associated with a 2% increase in TUG. The interaction between depression and time spent in LTC was statistically significant. Age and time living in LTC were significantly associated with functional mobility decline in new residents with dementia. Further work determining why residents with dementia experience decline in functional mobility at an accelerated rate is needed.

How this study scored 64/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a cohort study following people over time. Scored zero for effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 36 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 64 out of 100.
