Summary

This study looked at how common joint pain and swelling are in 100 nursing home residents aged 65 and older, both with and without dementia. Researchers performed a physical exam and used simple pain questions or a special checklist for those with severe dementia. The goal was to find out how many residents have joint complaints and whether those complaints are properly diagnosed.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

In total, 50 nursing home residents without dementia (group 1) and 50 nursing home residents with dementia (group 2), ≥ 65 years of age, will be included. In the Cicero Zorggroep nursing homes, residents are comparable to those living in other nursing homes in the Netherlands. They undergo the same assessment and screening (in the case of psychogeriatric care: mainly ZZP 5, and in somatic care mainly ZZP 6). Within Cicero, there are no specialized departments (e.g., for Parkinson's disease or young dementia patients), so each department consists of a representative cross-section of nursing home residents. In our study, we do not differentiate between subgroups, except for gender and the presence of dementia.
