| Abstract |
People with dementia who are hospitalized depend on hospital care that is tailored to their particular needs. However, the current structural conditions and standardized care plans are often opposed to the needs for familiarity and orientation that people with dementia have. For the development of dementia-specific care concepts, it is important to know the proportion of persons with dementia who are hospitalized as well as the diagnosis that leads to hospital admission. The results of the literature review show prevalence estimates of 3.4-43.3%. The probability or risk of hospitalization for persons with dementia is between 1.4-3.6 times greater than it is for non-dementia persons. In addition, the reasons for admission are different. People with dementia are more frequently hospitalized due to infectious diseases, fractures, or nutritional disorders than non-dementia persons. Based on these results, one can hypothesize that there is a need for cross-sectoral care approaches, since these indicate the necessity for further research in order to establish a reliable database. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 May 2013.
All research outputs
#20,192,189
of 22,709,015 outputs
Outputs from Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie
#284
of 359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#148,408
of 163,533 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,709,015 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 163,533 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
