Abstract

Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) describes a syndrome of physical and cognitive decline that persists after acute symptoms of infection resolve. Few studies have explored PASC among nursing home (NH) residents. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at two NHs in Michigan. COVID-positive patients were identified from March 21, 2020 to October 26, 2021. The comparison group were patients who lived at the same NH but who were never infected during the study period. Minimum Data Set was used to examine trajectories of functional dependence (Activity of Daily Living [ADL] composite score) and cognitive function (Brief Interview for Mental Status [BIMS]). Linear mixed-effects models were constructed to estimate short-term change in function and cognition immediately following diagnosis and over time for an additional 12 months, compared to pre-COVID and non-COVID trajectories and adjusting for sex, age, and dementia status. We identified 171 residents (90 COVID-19 positive, 81 non-COVID) with 719 observations for our analyses. Cohort characteristics included: 108 (63%) ≥ 80 yrs.; 121 (71%) female; 160 (94%) non-Hispanic white; median of 3 comorbidities (IQR 2-4), with no significant differences in characteristics between groups. COVID-19 infection affected the trajectory of ADL recovery for the first 9 months following infection, characterized by an immediate post-infection decrease in functional status post-infection (-0.60 points, p = 0.002) followed by improvement toward the expected functional trajectory sans infection (0.04 points per month following infection, p = 0.271). NH residents experienced a significant functional decline that persisted for 9 months following acute infection. Further research is needed to determine whether increased rehabilitation services after COVID-19 may help mitigate this decline.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 117. 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 22 January 2024.
All research outputs
#367,887
of 25,939,391 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
#310
of 8,256 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,338
of 365,061 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
#4
of 110 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,939,391 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,256 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 24.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
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 365,061 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 110 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
