Association between intrinsic capacities limitations and annual healthcare costs in Nursing Home residents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study is to analyse the associations of annual Intrinsic Capacities (IC) impairment evolution with the annual cost of care in Nursing Home (NH) residents. This was a prospective, longitudinal and multicenter study. NH residents in the Occitanie region (south of France), 60 years and older with moderate level of dependency were included in the study and were followed during 12 months.

Methods

IC was assessed for four of the six IC domains (Cognitive, locomotion, vitality and psychological). Longitudinal IC impairment trajectories of residents were built using the K-means Longitudinal method. Costs were assessed from the healthcare payer's perspective and include direct medical and non-medical costs. Descriptive analyses of costs and characteristics
