Table 3.
of Influenza Hospitalization Versus None on the Occurrence of Hip Fracture Hospitalizations Among U.S. Long-stay Nursing Home Residents ≥65 years old Under a Series of Models, 2000–2009
| Model | Incidence Rate Ratioa (95% CI) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N b (facility) | N b (facility by week) | Unadjusted | Adjusted | Fixed-Effects | |
| Influenza hospitalizations | 454 | 208,412 | 1.12 (1.08–1.18) | 1.13 (1.08–1.17) | 1.13 (1.08–1.18) |
| City-wide influenza mortality | 454 | 195,653c | 1.03 (1.01–1.04) | 1.02 (1.01–1.03) | 1.00 (0.99–1.02) |
| Influenza vaccination rate ≥ 65% | 454 | 208,412 | 0.98 (0.93–1.04) | 0.98 (0.92–1.04) | 0.99 (0.92–1.06) |
Note: Interpretable as a relative change (ie, 1.2, 20%).
Sample used in adjusted analysis
City-wide influenza death rate was missing for 6% of sample.
Covariate adjusted includes: Year fixed effects, resident gender, age, facility antibiotic use, influenza vaccination, percent of residents with rehabilitation, ostomy, or dialysis care, the percent of residents diagnosed with depression and dementia, and the no of nursing FTE per 100 residents.
Fixed effects includes fixed effect terms for each year and facility without adjustment for any specific covariate.
