Korean primary health care program for people with disabilities: do they really want home-based primary care?
Article in BMC health services research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDespite many studies on home-based primary care (HBPC)-related benefits and challenges, little is known about the perspectives of potential target groups of the care and their intention or preference for using it. This study aimed to explore the demand for HBPC from the perspective of people with disabilities (PWDs) and caregivers and identify relevant determinants for that demand.
methodsData from the population-based survey conducted in the Gyeonggi Regional Health & Medical Center for People with Disabilities in South Korea were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relevant determinants for the demand on HBPC.
resultsOverall, 22% of respondents required HBPC, and 34.7% of persons aged ≥ 65 years demanded it. Older adults with disability, homebound status, and a need for assistance with daily living activities were associated with a demand for HBPC. Though having severe disability, only 19.49% of self-reported respondents demanded for HBPC, while 39.57% of proxy-reported respondents demanded for HBPC. Among self-reported group, only marital status was a predictor associated with a demand for HBPC. In contrast, among proxy-reported groups, PWDs with external physical disabilities, or with unmet medical needs due to availability barriers reported a higher demand for HBPC.
conclusionsThe demand for HBPC does not derive from the medical demands of the users themselves, but rather the care deficit by difficulty in getting out of the house or in outpatient care. Beyond an alternative to office-based care, HBPC needs to be considered to solve the care deficit and as well as to deal with PWDs' medical problems.
