Death in the nursing home: senescence, infection and other causes
Abstract:
1. Clinical reasons for death in a skilled nursing home continue to show infectious causes as the leading etiology. 2. The concept of senescence is probably overlooked as a legitimate explanation for death in elderly patients. Senescence can be defined as a protracted and progressive decline of multiple body functions not attributable to one specific etiology and culminating in the patient's death. 3. The majority of deaths occurred within the first year after admission to the skilled nursing home setting. 4. The majority of deaths among the patients in this study occurred in the nursing home setting, not the hospital.
