Health profiles of older nursing home residents by suicidal ideation: A latent class analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Identify the health profiles of older nursing home residents with and without at-admission self-reported suicidal ideation (SI) and examine the association between the identified profiles and self-reported SI at 90 days.

Methods

Using the Minimum Data Set 3.0 and the ninth Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) item, we identified 15,277 older residents with and 562,184 without self-reported SI at nursing home admission. Latent class analysis, using frailty, cognitive impairment, palliative care index, pain, and remaining PHQ-9 items as indicators, identified health profiles by at-admission SI and the BCH method estimated their association with SI at 90 days.

Results

Profiles identified for residents without at-admission SI were: (1) frail and depressed
