| Annotation | A retrospective cohort study of survival analysis of 841 people admitted as local authority funded long-stay residents to Wakefield nursing homes between April 1993 and December 1997 compared 535 admitted from hospital to 306 from the community, and changes in mortality over the period. The study indicates that the mortality experience of nursing home admissions from hospital was no worse than that of admissions from the community. Survival of people admitted to nursing homes in Wakefield also improved over the 5-year period of the study. (RH). |
