Death Following Recent Admission Into Nursing Home From Community Living: A Systematic Review Into the Transition Process

“…The search yielded 2,547 records of which 11 met the inclusion criteria (Table 1). Six studies were from North America (Aneshensel et al, 2000; Bercovitz, Gruber-Baldini, Burton, & Hebel, 2005; Bronskill et al, 2009; Huybrechts, Rothman, Silliman, Brookhart, & Schneeweiss, 2011; Magaziner et al, 2005; Mitchell et al, 2004), three from Europe (Raines & Wight, 2002; Sutcliffe et al, 2007; Wijnia, Ooms, & van Balen, 2006), and two from Australasia (Connolly, Broad, Boyd, Kerse, & Gott, 2014; Liu & Wen, 2010).…”

“…All were cohort studies, judged according to NIH assessment criteria to be of overall fair quality: seven were prospective (Aneshensel et al, 2000; Bercovitz et al, 2005; Connolly et al, 2014; Liu & Wen, 2010; Magaziner et al, 2005; Sutcliffe et al, 2007; Wijnia et al, 2006) and the remaining four had a retrospective design (Bronskill et al, 2009; Huybrechts et al, 2011; Mitchell et al, 2004; Raines & Wight, 2002). Only two studies compared outcomes following transition to groups consisting of the same residents preceding transition and/or of nonadmitted residents (Aneshensel et al, 2000; Connolly et al, 2014).…”

Private Health Insurance and Inpatient Service Utilisation among Adults and Elderly People under Taiwan’s National Insurance Programme

“…Furthermore, depressive symptoms have often been regarded as relative and attributable risk factors for first-onset major depression [22]. As statistics indicate that the aggregate rate of aging is projected to be faster in Taiwan than that in most developed countries [23], analyzing the relationship between depressive symptoms and health service utilization for elderly people is crucial.…”
