摘要:
How long a dementia patient is cared for in the home before admission to a nursing home depends on the state of the patient and the state of the caregiver. Using 5-year follow-up data, the times until entry to nursing home and until death are modeled using a Cox survival model in which patient and caregiver variables at entry to study as well as changes in these variables over the following 12 months are the regression variables. Treatment variables quantify the effects of a caregiver training program. Statistical methods used in fitting the Cox survival model and consequent predictions of survival rates are discussed.
