Association of dementia with early rehospitalization among Medicare beneficiaries.
This study examined the question of whether dementia was associated with a greater likelihood of Medicare patients being readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. Using a group of 25,839 hospitalizations, including 3,908 admissions of Me.icare beneficiaries with dementia, it found that those with a dementia diagnosis were more likely (17.8 percent vs. 14.5 percent) to be readmitted within 30 days.

The effects of public reporting on physical restraints and antipsychotic use in nursing home residents with severe cognitive impairment.
The purpose of this paper was to assess whether reductions in physical restraint use associated with quality reporting may have had the unintended consequence of increasing antipsychotic use in nursing home (NH) residents with severe cognitive impairment. Physical restraint use declined significantly from 1999 to 2008 in NH residents with severe cognitive impairment. Correspondingly, antipsychotic use in the same residents increased more in NHs that were subject to public reporting. This analysis suggests that public reporting of physical restraint use had the unintended consequence of increasing use of antipsychotics in NH residents with severe cognitive impairment.
