متن کاملNursing home characteristics and the development of pressure sores and disruptive behaviour.
OBJECTIVE To determine how nursing home characteristics affect pressure sores and disruptive behaviour. METHOD Residents (n = 5518, aged > or =60 years) were selected from 70 nursing homes in the National Health Care chain. Homes were classified as high- or low-risk based on incidence tertiles of pressure sores or disruptive behaviour (1989-90). Point-prevalence and cumulative incidence of pr...
