Hospitalization Experiences Among Nursing Home Residents With Dementia.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesHospital admissions among nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are burdensome, expensive, and provide limited clinical benefit. Compared with other patients, those with ADRD are more likely to experience adverse events when hospitalized. Our objective was to comprehensively describe the in-hospital experience of nursing home patients with ADRD.
designWe analyzed 1 randomly selected hospitalization per patient from the electronic health record. SETTING AND
participantsAdult patients with an ADRD diagnosis from a single health system in Ohio and Florida who resided in a nursing home and were transferred to a hospital from January 2013 to July 2023.
methodsDescriptive statistics for each variable.
resultsOf 10,195 patients, median age was 84 years, 71% were White, 61% were female, and median length of stay was 5 days. During the hospitalization, 69% required a sitter, 34% a Foley catheter, 21% were diagnosed with delirium, and 4% died. Six percent were put in restraints, 4% experienced a fall, and 51% were administered at least 1 neuropsychiatric medication. Fewer than half of all patients (45%) had a do-not-resuscitate order, 5% had a consultation with palliative care, 2.4% with geriatrics, and 1.1% with hospice. Nearly 20% of all patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Of these, 58% had do-not-resuscitate orders, 78% required a sitter, 53% had delirium, 17% had an order for restraints, 62% had a Foley catheter, and 10% had a long-term feeding tube inserted. Ten percent of ICU patients had a consultation with palliative care, 3.4% with geriatrics, and 2.2% with hospice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Patients undergoing hospital admission suffered distressing experiences, but most patients did not have do-not-resuscitate orders, and referrals to hospice and palliative care were rare. Patients and their family members should be informed about the hospital experience before admission and offered appropriate care services.
