Cognitive and functional change in skilled nursing facilities: Differences by delirium and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
Among older adults without dementia admitted to SNF for post-acute care following hospitalization, a positive screen for delirium and a new diagnosis of ADRD, within 7 days of SNF admission, were both significantly associated with worse cognitive and functional recovery. Patients with both delirium and new ADRD had the worst cognitive and functional recovery.
