Healthcare Utilisation in Ageing Adults With Intellectual Disability: Longitudinal Evidence From Five Waves of IDS-TILDA.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 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
backgroundAdults with intellectual disability are living longer and ageing with more illness. This impacts healthcare utilisation. Yet little is known about how healthcare utilisation changes over time as this population ages.
methodsFive waves of longitudinal data of people ≥ 40 years with intellectual disability from 2009 to 2023 were analysed. Generalised linear multilevel models examined associations between sociodemographic characteristics and multimorbidity with patterns of General Practitioner (GP), outpatient and emergency department use.
resultsGP use was consistently high across all waves. Outpatient use increased as people aged, while emergency department use was associated with age greater than 65, multimorbidity and conditions such as neurological, joint, gastrointestinal, endocrine and heart disease. Residence was a significant factor influencing healthcare utilisation.
conclusionOur findings demonstrate that multimorbidity, residence and age were associated with healthcare utilisation. These are important insights to help support the planning of accessible and preventative health services for this population.
