abstract = {Hospital care of older adults, especially of those with
dementia, is associated with a high risk of complications
and increased mortality. Adverse events are often triggered
by hospital-related factors, hence the time spent in
hospitals should be limited. There is little knowledge of
the specific factors influencing hospitalizations of older
persons.To assess the duration of length of stay (LOS) and
risk factors of increased LOS, and, specifically, the role
of delirium and neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) among a
large sample of older adults with and without dementia in
Germany.A claims data based dynamic retrospective cohort
study from 2004 to 2015 was conducted. People with dementia
(PWD) were identified using ICD-10 codes and the application
of diagnostic measures. A control group without diagnosis of
dementia (CG) were matched in a 3: 1 ratio. Multivariate
methods were used to investigate the factors associated with
LOS.7,139 PWD and 21,417 controls were included. PWD had
longer hospitalizations (first LOS: +4.3 days; second LOS:
+0.2 days) than the CG. Diagnosis of delirium was associated
with LOS, both for PWD (first LOS: +9.6 days; second LOS:
+5.3 days) and CG (first LOS: +13.7 days; second LOS: +7.2
days).Major determinants of LOS were similar in PWD and the
CG. The strongest association was found for the presence of
delirium and NPS. Future research should focus on prevention
and intervention strategies that may reduce the impact of
delirium as well as NPS on the length of stay especially for
PWD.},
