Long-Term Care Service Trajectories and Their Predictors for Persons Living With Dementia: Results From a Canadian Study
Denise S Cloutier, Margaret J Penning, Kim Nuernberger, Deanne Taylor, Stuart MacDonald. Journal of aging and health, 2017-08-17
Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
Our results revealed relatively equal reliance on home care (HC) and facility-based residential care (RC) as starting points. HC service users were further differentiated into "intermittent HC" and "continuous HC" groups. Mortality was highest for the RC group. Age, changes in cognitive performance, and activities of daily living were important predictors of transitions into HC or RC. Reliance on HC and RC by persons with dementia raises critical questions about ensuring that an adequate range of services is available in local communities to support aging in place and to ensure appropriate timing for entry into institutions.

How this study scored 50/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, 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 28 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 50 out of 100.
