Sociodemographic Factors and Characteristics of Caregivers as Determinants of Skilled Nursing Facility Admissions When Modeled Jointly With Functional Limitations.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesWe examined whether previously identified relationships between sociodemographic factors and caregivers for skilled nursing facility (SNF) admissions are replicated when jointly accounting for longitudinal change in functional limitations. We further explored the impact of caregivers by investigating the relationship between caregiver's characteristics and SNF admissions.
designLongitudinal follow-up study.
settingThe United States of America.
participantsIn total, 3875 older Americans from the 2011-2015 rounds of the National Health and Aging Trends Study linked with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. MEASURES: Sociodemographic factors and caregiver's characteristics were used to predict change in functional limitations from baseline and time to first SNF admission using a joint modeling approach.
resultsIn total, 11.3% of the study population had a SNF admission during follow-up. For sociodemographic factors, non-Hispanic white, <9th grade education, and having at least 1 caregiver were associated with higher hazards of SNF admission than other race/ethnicity, college or higher education, and no caregiver, respectively. In contrast, living with a partner or living with others was associated with lower hazard of SNF admissions. For characteristics of caregivers, medical-supportive caregiver was associated with increased hazard of SNF admissions, whereas partner caregiver was protective of SNF admissions. Jointly modeling SNF admissions and change in functional limitations resulted in greater precision of effect estimates than modeling these outcomes separately. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The study provides insight that can help identify high-risk populations for future interventions to prevent or delay SNF admissions. The relation between caregivers and SNF admissions depended on caregiver's characteristics. Future work should focus on providing help to those without a partner caregiver or needing help managing their health to ensure independent living and improve the well-being of older adults. Precision increased when jointly modeling the SNF admission with change in functional limitations.
