Abstract

Background: To investigate the association between quality of life and nursing home facility for the elderly population. Methods: We searched the PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Library for relevant perspective studies without language limitations from inception to 17^(th) June 2020 for relevant publications with a priori defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two authors independently selected studies, assessed risk of bias, and extracted data. The disagreement was resolved by discussion with a third author. Results: There are 18 articles involved in the final meta-analysis. The disparities were found of accessing the quality of life (World Health Organization Quality-of-Life, Quality of Life in Last-Stage Dementia, Nottingham Health Profile-Turkish Version, EUROPE Health Interview Survey-QoL , Visual analogue Scales, Flanagan Quality of Life Scale) and the level of independence (Barthel Index, Kahoku Aging Longitudinal Study Scale, Visual Analogue Scales, Activities of Daily Living Scales, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scales). Conclusion: The available limited, very low-quality evidence does not support a significant association between quality of life and nursing home facility for the elderly population. Further rigorous and long-term follow-up studies should be conducted with more objective measures.

老年人生活质量与养老院设施的关系:系统回顾与元分析

背景:探讨老年人生活质量与养老院设施的关系。方法:我们在PubMed、Medline和Cochrane图书馆中检索了从开始到2020年6月17日无语言限制的相关视角研究，以获得具有先验定义的纳入和排除标准的相关出版物。两位作者独立选择研究，评估偏倚风险，并提取数据。这个分歧通过与第三位作者的讨论得到了解决。结果:最终meta分析共纳入18篇文章。在获得生活质量(世界卫生组织生活质量、晚期痴呆生活质量、诺丁汉健康状况-土耳其版、欧洲健康访谈调查- qol、视觉模拟量表、Flanagan生活质量量表)和独立性水平(Barthel指数、Kahoku老龄化纵向研究量表、视觉模拟量表、日常生活活动量表、日常生活工具活动量表)方面存在差异。结论:现有的有限的、非常低质量的证据并不支持老年人生活质量与养老院设施之间的显著关联。应采取更客观的措施进行进一步严格和长期的随访研究。

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish original research and review papers on all fields of geriatrics and gerontology, including those dealing with critical care and emergency medicine. The IJGE aims to explore and clarify the medical science and philosophy in all fields of geriatrics and gerontology, including those in the emergency and critical care medicine. The IJGE is determined not only to be a professional journal in gerontology, but also a leading source of information for the developing field of geriatric emergency and critical care medicine. It is a pioneer in Asia. Topics in the IJGE cover the advancement of diagnosis and management in urgent, serious and chronic intractable diseases in later life, preventive medicine, long-term care of disability, ethical issues in the diseased elderly and biochemistry, cell biology, endocrinology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology and protein chemistry involving diseases associated with age. We did not limit the territory to only critical or emergency condition inasmuch as chronic diseases are frequently brought about by inappropriate management of acute problems.
