Modification of Hospitalization Risk by Gender and Dementia Status Between the Ages of 85 and 95 in a German Cohort Based on Health Claims Data.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundHospitalizations among older adults differ by dementia status, gender, and living arrangements. Understanding these differences, particularly in advanced age (age 85 and above), can inform appropriate healthcare strategies.
methodsUsing health claims data for Germany, we followed the 1918 to 1923 birth cohort (n = 4,065 men and 13,302 women), who reached age 85 between 2004 and 2009 until death or age 95. Two-level mixed-effects linear probability models with repeated observations were conducted, adjusting for age, gender, dementia status, nursing home residency, dependency on long-term care, comorbidities, and quarter of death.
resultsMen consistently exhibited higher probabilities of hospitalization compared to women, and individuals with dementia (PwD) had a greater probability of hospitalization than those without dementia (non-PwD). Specifically, when compared to male non-PwD, the probability of hospitalization increased by 0.10 (p ≤ 0.001) for male PwD; female non-PwD demonstrated a 0.02 (p ≤ 0.001) lower probability of hospitalization, while female PwD had an increased probability of 0.06 (p ≤ 0.001). Hospitalization probabilities increased with age among non-PwD (men: +0.052 from p
conclusionGender and dementia status significantly modulate hospitalization risks in advanced age. A gender-sensitive healthcare approach that accounts for dementia status and care needs is crucial for ensuring adequate hospital care in advanced age.
