Nursing Home Admission and Home Care Initiation After Acute Aortic Dissection: A Nationwide Registry-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about long-term outcomes beyond survival following acute aortic dissection. The aim of this research was to evaluate rates of home care initiation and nursing home admission during the first year after discharge and to assess factors associated with these needs.

Methods

All patients in Denmark with a first-time diagnosis of acute aortic dissection type A or B between 2006 and 2015 were identified using national registries. Patients discharged alive without nursing home or home care use before aortic dissection were included, along with age-matched and sex-matched population controls without aortic dissection (at a ratio of 1:5). Cause-specific multivariable Cox regression was used to derive adjusted hazard ratios.
