Lower Extremity Revascularization in Nursing Home Residents in the United States
- 1. Lawrence Oresanya MD Lower Extremity Revascularization in Shoujun Zhao MD, PhD Emily Finlayson MD, MS Phillip R Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies Department of Surgery, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco CA Nursing Home Residents in the United States Introduction • For patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), the main goals of lower extremity revascularization (LER) are to prevent limb loss and allow patients to maintain functional independence • Prior studies suggest that patients who are non-ambulatory and functionally dependent have poor outcomes •Outcomes after lower extremity revascularization in the frailest elders – nursing home residents – are poorly understood Methods/Approach • Usingdata from a national registry of nursing home residents (Minimum Data Set for Nursing Homes (MDS)) and Medicare claims, we identified all nursing home residents who underwent lower extremity revascularization procedures in the United States between 2005 and 2008 (n=10809) • Based on registry data, patients were classified as ambulatory, non-ambulatory (63%) and bed bound (27%)and functional status assessed with the MDS-ADL score • We examined functional trajectories before and after surgery using cubic spline trajectory modeling techniques •The intervention was considered a ‘success’ at 1 year if the resident was alive and had no lower extremity complications (re-intervention and/or above ankle amputation) Techniques for Lower Extremity Functional Status after Revascularization Revascularization All residents Non ambulatory 100 100 Improve Improve Improve Improve Improve Improve Improve Improve Percentage (%) Percentage (%) ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL Surgical Bypass Graft Maintain Maintain Maintain Maintain ADL Maintain Maintain Maintain Maintain ADL 80 ADL ADL 80 ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL 60 decline 60 ADL ADL ADL ADL ADL decline decline decline decline ADL decline decline decline 40 40 20 20 Died Died Died Died Died Died Died Died 0 0 3M. 6M. 9M. 12M.
