Predictors of 15-year transitions across living and care settings in a population of Swedish older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to investigate the association of sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics with the volume of transitions and specific trajectories across living and care settings.

Methods

Using data from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen study, we identified transitions across home (with or without social care), nursing homes, hospitals and postacute care facilities among 3021 adults aged 60+. Poisson and multistate models were used to investigate the association between sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics and both the overall volume and hazard ratios (HRs) of specific transitions.

Results

Over 15 years, 720 (23.8%) participants experienced between 5 and 10 transitions, and 816 (26.7%) experienced >1
