Differences in the Health Status of Older Adults in Community and Hospital Cohorts.
Article in Annals of geriatric medicine and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundOlder adults frequently utilize healthcare services across diverse medical settings to maintain continuity of care. However, data from the hospital records of older adults is often not linked to their health status in community settings, preventing a full understanding of their healthcare needs.
methodsThis study aimed to compare the multidimensional health status (i.e., self-rated health, depression, physical function/activity, mobility, nutrition, lifestyle factors, blood laboratory, and diseases) of older adults between community and hospital cohorts. The goal was to identify the potential health problems of older adults and establish a preventive care system. Secondary analysis was conducted using data obtained from the Korean Urban Rural Elderly study for the community cohort and outpatient patients from a single tertiary hospital for the hospital cohort.
resultsUsing age- and sex-matched propensity score matching, 550 older adults were selected equally from the two cohorts. Logistic regression was performed to predict the health status of the two groups. The health status of the community and hospital cohorts differed in several health domains. The hospital cohort group had more risk of depression, impairment in instrumental activities of daily living, and malnutrition. The hospital cohort group had lower alcohol intake and albumin, and higher glucose levels. The hospital group also had a higher prevalence of stroke and depression.
conclusionThe findings of this study highlight the need to provide multidimensional healthcare services that consider the deterioration of multiple health conditions in older adults.
