Signs and Symptoms of Low-Intake Dehydration Do Not Work in Older Care Home Residents—DRIE Diagnostic Accuracy Study
2019, Journal of the American Medical Directors AssociationCitation Excerpt :Identification by health care professionals currently relies on signs and symptoms, and there is a reluctance to discontinue current ineffective methods of assessment.50 This study consolidates evidence that commonly used signs and symptoms lack even basic levels of diagnostic accuracy, and so we recommend the discontinuation of these tests as indicators of low-intake dehydration, providing relevant evidence for policy makers.51 Reliance on such tests may cause harm to older adults, as an inaccurate test falsely indicating dehydration exposes older people to unnecessary interventions, but more importantly, a test falsely indicating euhydration may discourage staff from providing the older person with the required increased fluids.

2019, Journal of the American Medical Directors AssociationCitation Excerpt :Nursing home residents, families, and staff are often excluded from research because of the residents' medical complexity and methodological barriers unique to nursing homes.1–3 However, as the need for PA-LTC increases in the United States,11 efforts must be made to overcome these challenges and support high-quality research in PA-LTC with the goal to improve care.5 Research priorities identified here echo previous work, which identified polypharmacy and mental health as research priorities in nursing home care.12
