Abstract

Alzheimer's dementia, the most common type of dementia, afflicts more than 6 million Americans. More than 80 percent of people living with dementia (PLWD) live in the community, either with caregivers or alone. As cognitive impairment becomes more severe, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) become more difficult to manage, and those with severe or dangerous BPSD may need to be treated in an inpatient psychiatric facility (IPF). The immediate goal of an IPF stay is to stabilize patients in a psychiatric crisis. IPFs primarily serve people with serious mental illness and substance use disorders, whose care needs may overlap with but also differ from the needs of PLWD. Little is known about PLWD who use IPFs. The goal of this research was to conduct exploratory analyses focused on PLWD who use IPFs to (1) characterize the population and compare them with IPF users without dementia, (2) examine characteristics and utilization patterns for different services and settings that may be associated with IPF stays, and (3) analyze outcomes following IPF stays. The authors used Medicare fee-for-service data to conduct descriptive analyses characterizing beneficiaries with dementia who experienced an IPF stay in 2018 and compare them with beneficiaries without dementia. The research team used regression analyses to explore predictors of IPF use and service use and outcomes after IPF discharge.

老年痴呆症医疗保险受益人住院精神病设施的使用。
阿尔茨海默氏痴呆症是最常见的痴呆症类型,折磨着600多万美国人。超过80%的痴呆症患者生活在社区中,要么与护理人员一起生活,要么独自生活。随着认知障碍变得更加严重,痴呆症(BPSD)的行为和心理症状变得更加难以控制,那些患有严重或危险的BPSD的人可能需要在住院精神病院(IPF)接受治疗。IPF住院的直接目标是稳定处于精神危机中的病人。ipf主要服务于患有严重精神疾病和物质使用障碍的人,他们的护理需求可能与PLWD的需求重叠,但也不同。我们对使用ipf的PLWD知之甚少。本研究的目的是对使用IPF的PLWD进行探索性分析,以:(1)描述人群特征,并将其与无痴呆的IPF用户进行比较,(2)检查可能与IPF住院相关的不同服务和环境的特征和利用模式,以及(3)分析IPF住院后的结果。作者使用医疗保险按服务收费数据对2018年经历IPF住宿的痴呆症受益人进行了描述性分析,并将其与非痴呆症受益人进行了比较。研究小组采用回归分析探讨IPF使用、服务使用和IPF出院后预后的预测因素。
