Caregiver Burden and Associated Factors Among Informal Caregivers of Hospitalized Elderly Patients in China: A Latent Profile Analysis.

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
Background: Caregiver burden is a critical issue in healthcare, particularly among informal caregivers of hospitalized elderly patients, as it can significantly impact both the caregivers' well-being and the quality of patient care. Objective: This study aims to identify the latent profiles of caregiver burden among informal caregivers of hospitalized elderly patients and the factors associated with caregiver burden. Methods: 506 pairs of hospitalized elderly patients and their informal caregivers were interviewed using the Sociodemographic questionnaire, Caregiver Burden Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Barthel Index. Latent profile analysis identified caregiver burden profiles, and multinomial logistic regression determined associated factors. Results: The caregiver burden was classified into three profiles: low (49.01%), moderate (41.90%), and high (9.09%). Individual caregiver factors (older age, high economic stress, poor self-rated health, poor caregiving ability and profound anxiety) and situational factors (inadequate social support, and caring for patients with limited ADL) were associated with high level of caregiver burden Conclusion: These three profiles of caregiver burden in the study showed different characteristics in different dimensions of caregiver burden. These findings provide a basis for developing targeted interventions to alleviate the burden and enhance care quality.
