Long-term care utilization and all-cause mortality among older adults with major psychiatric disorders: a 5-year prospective multicenter study.

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
objectiveAs the population ages, the number of older adults with psychiatric disorders in long-term care facilities is expected to significantly increase. To our knowledge, no study has examined the association between long-term care utilization and all-cause mortality among older adults with psychiatric disorders.
methodsIn this report, we used data from the Cohort of Individuals with Schizophrenia, Bipolar and Major Depressive Disorder Aged 55 Years or More, a 5-year prospective multicenter study, to examine this association. All analyses were adjusted for a wide range of potential confounders, including sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and psychotropic medication use.
resultsThe prevalence of long-term care utilization was 23.6% (n=132) among 559 older adults with major psychiatric disorders. Living in a long-term care facility was significantly and independently associated with increased all-cause mortality in both the crude (OR = 2.54; 95%CI 1.67-3.87; p < 0.001) and fully-adjusted multivariable logistic regression models (AOR = 1.86; 95%CI 1.10-3.16; p = 0.021). This association did not vary significantly across most subgroups defined by sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
conclusionIn this multicenter prospective observational study of older adults with major psychiatric disorders, long-term care utilization was significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality. Physicians and policy makers should take this association under careful consideration.
