文摘

To describe health care and preventive service provision to nursing home (NH) residents with diabetes mellitus (DM) and to analyze factors determining use of selected services.

Design

In the period between 2009 and 2011, the Services and Health for Elderly in Long TERm care (SHELTER) project, a 12-month prospective cohort study, was conducted to assess 4037 NH residents aged 60 years and older residing in 59 NHs in 7 European countries and Israel.

Methods

The InterRAI tool for long-term care facilities was used to assess care needs and provided health care services. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression were applied to describe differences between NH residents with (DR) and without DM (non-DR), and to find factors determining use of services and care provided to both groups.

Results

DR more often than non-DR were hospitalized (18.2% vs 14.3%) and required rehabilitation (23.8% vs 18.2%) or clinically complex care (15.9% vs 13.7%). They also more frequently received a repositioning program (26.8% vs 22.7%), a wound care (15.1% vs 9.8%), and some preventive services as yearly eye examination (41.0% vs 35.9%), pneumococcal vaccination (33.5% vs 26.6%), mammography in women (12.1% vs 7.4%), and colonoscopy (5.6% vs 3.6%). Yet, rates of some of them (mammography, colonoscopy, hearing and dental examinations) were very low in both study cohorts with exception of annual influenza vaccination (82.1%) and yearly blood pressure checkup (95.0%). Interestingly, DM enhanced odds only for mammography [odds ratio (OR) 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15–2.09, P = .004) and eye examination (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.03–1.42; P = .018).

Conclusions

DR more frequently receive care related to DM clinical complexity; nevertheless, the recommended frequency of preventive procedures is not met both in DR and non-DR.
