INTRODUCTION
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between dementia severity and early discharge from home health.
METHODS
This was a retrospective study of 100% national Medicare home health da ta files (2016-2017). Multilevel logistic regression was used to study the relationship of dementia severity, caregiver support, and medication assistance with early discharge from home health.
RESULTS
The final cohort consisted of 91 302 Medicare beneficiaries with an ADRD diagnosis. A pattern of early discharge rates across dementia severity levels was not demonstrated. The relative risk for early discharge was lower for individuals who needed assistance with medication and for those with unmet caregiver needs.
DISCUSSION
The findings of this study do not support the hypothesis that dementia severity contributes to early discharge from home health. Further research is needed to fully understand key factors contributing to early discharge from home health.
简介
本研究旨在探讨痴呆严重程度与家庭保健提前出院之间的关系。
方法
这是一项对全国医疗保险家庭保健数据文件（2016-2017 年）的回顾性研究。采用多水平逻辑回归分析了痴呆严重程度、护理人员支持和药物辅助治疗与家庭保健提前出院之间的关系。
结果
最终队列包括 91302 名患有 ADRD 诊断的医疗保险受益人。在痴呆严重程度水平上，并没有表现出提前出院率的模式。需要药物辅助治疗和护理人员需求未得到满足的个体提前出院的相对风险较低。
讨论
本研究结果不支持痴呆严重程度导致家庭保健提前出院的假设。需要进一步研究，以充分了解导致家庭保健提前出院的关键因素。
