The objectives of this study were to estimate the colonisation rate by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) among residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and to identify pertinent risk factors. A systematic search of PubMed and EMBASE databases for studies published up to May 2016 that provided raw data for gastrointestinal colonisation by ESBL-PE among LTCF residents was performed. Twenty-three studies reporting data on 9775 screened subjects met the inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of ESBL-PE among LTCF residents was 18% [95% confidence interval (CI) 12-24%]. Risk factors for colonisation included recent antibiotic use (within 6 months) [odds ratio (OR) = 2.06, 95% CI 1.78-2.38], previous hospitalisation (within 2.5 years) (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.04-2.15), history of invasive procedures (within 2 years) (OR = 2.79, 95% CI 1.66-4.70), previous ESBL-PE colonisation or infection (OR = 6.77, 95% CI 1.33-34.62), history of urinary tract infection (OR = 2.66, 95% CI 1.76-4.01) and urinary catheter use (OR = 2.55, 95% CI 1.29-5.04). In conclusion, almost one in five LTCF residents is colonised with ESBL-PE, and colonised residents are more likely to have a history of recent antibiotic use or healthcare facility utilisation. Strict adherence to antimicrobial stewardship in LTCFs is needed to address these high resistance rates.

Improving life quality for the aged: a comprehensive post-occupancy evaluation of long-term care facilities in China.
Front Public Health
December 2024
Institute of Architectural Design and Theoretical Research, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The text addresses the growing concern of improving living conditions for older adults in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in China, highlighting the rapid development of such facilities and their often subpar physical environments that affect residents' quality of life.
- - The study evaluated 37 LTCFs through post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) using tailored assessment tools and user feedback, revealing significant deficiencies in areas like outdoor spaces, resident rooms, and staff areas, indicating unmet psychological and operational needs.
- - Ninety-two common issues were identified across eight categories, with discussions on their causes linked to various stages of facility development, aiming to inform future designs and contribute to better standards for LTCF construction.
A systematic review of economic evaluation of healthcare associated infection prevention and control interventions in long term care facilities.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are common in long-term care facilities (LTCF) and cause significant burden. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures include the clinical best practices (CBP) of hand hygiene, hygiene and sanitation, screening, and basic and additional precautions. Few studies demonstrate their cost-effectiveness in LTCF, and those that do, largely focus on one CBP.

Article Synopsis
- Regular dental check-ups and oral hygiene are often neglected in nursing homes, leading to poor oral health among residents; the OHS-interRAI was developed to improve the assessment of residents' oral health needs.
- A study compared the effectiveness of the traditional interRAI section to the OHS-interRAI in identifying oral health issues in over 12,000 nursing home residents, finding that the OHS-interRAI detected more oral health problems.
- While the OHS-interRAI showed higher detection rates for issues like chewing function and dry mouth, it also had more missing data, potentially due to regulatory constraints in its implementation.
The prevalence and risk factors of apathy among the Canadian long-term care residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Background: Apathy is a prevalent and debilitating neuropsychiatric symptom among persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, particularly those residing in long-term care facilities (LTCF). Despite its profound effects on the quality of life for both residents and their caregivers, apathy remains underrecognized and poorly understood in the context of dementia care.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and biopsychosocial characteristics of apathy among newly admitted residents with dementia in Canadian LTCF using an Apathy Index derived from the interRAI Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.
Background: The CDC recommends the more immunogenic adjuvanted and high-dose flu vaccines over standard-dose, non-adjuvanted vaccines for individuals above 65 years old. The current study compares adjuvanted trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (aTIV, FLUAD) versus high-dose flu vaccine (HD-IIV3, FLUZONE HD) to determine if they met non-inferiority standards for older long-term care facility (LTCF) residents.
Methods: We collected blood from long-term care facility residents participating in a randomized 1:1 active control trial comparing MF59C.
