In-hospital morbidity and mortality among patients from residential respite care

Internal Medicine Journal Jan 26, 2020

Low ZY, et al. - Experts sought to define the number of residential respite clients admitted to an acute tertiary hospital, and compare characteristics and in-hospital outcomes with those of permanent residential care residents. They conducted a retrospective study of residential respite individuals in Australian tertiary hospitals between November 2014 and September 2017. For permanent residential aged care facility (RACF) residents, a sum of 166 admissions from residential respite and 332 matched RACF controls distinguished from 4,575 admissions. Higher significant mortality was found in respite group vs general RACF group but not matched control group. Compared with either the control group, length of stay was significantly higher in respite individuals. Even if residential respite recipients represent a minority of total residential aged care admissions, they are at high risk of poor results. In this vulnerable cohort, prospective identification and timely intervention may increase the quality of care.
