We investigated the medical reason (primary diagnosis) of a nursing home admission with respect to the underlying disease. This study is based on two independent, descriptive and comparative studies in Belgium and was conducted at two time points (1993 and 2005) to explore the evolution over twelve years.

The main chronic medical conditions associated with NH admission were dementia and stroke. Mental disorders r...Continue Reading
