Consequences of Driving Cessation
The potential consequences of driving limitations or cessation should be taken into account when advising older drivers and developing alternative transportation strategies to help maintain their mobility
Driving Cessation and Increased Depressive Symptoms
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between driving cessation and depressive symptoms among older drivers. Previous efforts in this area have focused on the factors associated with cessation, not the consequences of having stopped. DESIGN: Cohort study SETTING: Urban community PARTICIPANTS: A driving survey was administered in 1989 to surviving noninstitutionalized members of the New Haven Established Population…
Predictors of mortality and institutionalization after hip fracture
OBJECTIVES. Hip fractures can have devastating effects on the lives of older individuals. We determined the frequency of occurrence of hip fracture and the baseline factors predicting death and institutionalization at 6 months after hip fracture. METHODS. A representative cohort of 2812 individuals aged 65 years and older was followed prospectively for 6 years. Hip fractures were identified, and the occurrence of death and institutionalization wi…
Resource Utilization Groups
The ability to understand, control, manage, regulate, and reimburse nursing home care has been hampered by the inavailability of a classification system of long-term care patients. A study of 1,469 patients in Connecticut nursing homes has resulted in such a classification system that clusters patients with similar relative needs for resources, in particular, for nursing time. The nine groups formed can be used to develop a case-mix profile of th…
Validation and Use of Resource Utilization Groups as a Case-mix Measure for Long-term Care
A companion article describes the development of a patient classification system for long-term care patients, Resource Utilization Groups (RUGs). Three potential limitations of this system and its development are addressed here: the use of a subjectively determined dependent variable, geographic limitation of the data to Connecticut skilled nursing facilities, and limited assessment of the quality of the facilities studied. Additional systems of …
