One hundred and one elderly continuing-care residents were relocated, from a hospital which closed, to new or refurbished accommodation at another hospital. Barthel and CAPE scores were used to assess changes in disability. Small improvements in disability over the relocation period were seen compared with changes seen over a subsequent, 2-month control period. The monthly mortality rate in the 6 months after relocation was not statistically different from that in the corresponding 6 months the previous year. Relocation to more appropriate accommodation may have had overall beneficial effects on disability.
101名老年持续护理居民从一家关闭的医院迁至另一家医院的新的或翻新的住所。采用巴氏指数和功能独立性评测量表来评估残疾状况的变化。与随后2个月的对照期相比，搬迁期间残疾状况有小幅改善。搬迁后6个月的月死亡率与上一年相应6个月的死亡率相比，无统计学差异。迁至更合适的住所可能对残疾状况产生了总体有益影响。
