Dying in a nursing home

Study
Jordhøy 2000 Intervention group: 19/235 (9%)
Control group: 36/199 (21%)
P < 0.05, adjusted for prognostic factors and baseline imbalances
Factors predictive of death in nursing homes, individually and according to final logistic regression model, were: female (OR 2.09, p=0.01), age (OR=1.08, p<0.01), living with spouse (OR 0.53, p=0.02) and home care at entry to study (OR 2.52, p<0.01)
After allowance for these factors, difference in nursing home deaths between these 2 groups was still significant (p= 0.01)
