Little is known about deployment of SARS-CoV-2–neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mab) in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), a high-risk population for COVID-19–related complications. We assessed the utilization of mabs in SNFs and identified facility characteristics associated with effective use.
The objective of this study was to assess the pathophysiology of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) in patients with dementia, specifically in those taking antipsychotics (APs).
To compare the accumulation of hospital days, a proposed proxy for overall drug safety, between antipsychotic initiators and noninitiators with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
We examined the influence of individual characteristics and organizational context features on nurses' self-reported use of research evidence in long-term care (LTC) homes.
