Abstract
A logistic regression model, developed to predict elderly patients' risk for discharge to nursing homes following hospitalization, was applied to a 1979 sample of Professional Standards Review Organizations (PSROs) in Riverside (California), Utah, South Carolina, and west Los Angeles (California). West Los Angeles also provided 1980 data. The model for Los Angeles was stable over time, but it could not be as successfully applied to other areas. Age was theonly consistently strong predictor in the individualized models developed for each area.Keywords
