Responses of noninterviewable long-term care patients before and after interinstitutional relocation
1Department of Health and Nutrition Sciences, Brooklyn College, New York 11210, USA.
Abstract:
This study investigated the health consequences of an interinstitutional relocation on a sample of 103 noninterviewable, cognitively impaired patients in long-term care. Relocated patients functioned as their own controls. Specifically, data were abstracted from the patients' medical records on 16 health indicators for the 6 months prior to and following relocation as well as for the same months in the year before. Multivariate analysis indicated patients in general exhibited good health pretransfer but worse health posttransfer. In addition, less impaired patients were somewhat more affected by relocation.
