Understanding the Relationship Between Nursing Home Experience With Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Patient Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to age, the need for nursing home (NH) care is increasing.

Objectives

To assess whether NH's experience in treating HIV is related to outcomes.

Research design

We used claims and assessment data to identify individuals with and without HIV who were admitted to NHs in 9 high HIV prevalent states. We classified NHs into HIV experience categories and estimate the effects of NH HIV experience on patient's outcomes. We applied an instrumental variable using distances between each individual's residence and NHs with different HIV experience.

Subjects

In all, 5,929,376 admissions for those without HIV and 53,476 admissions for residents with HIV.

Measures

Our primary outcomes were 30
