We used multivariable logistic regression to investigate urban-rural inequalities across regions, adjusting for sociodemographic and health covariates. Two main outcomes were self-rated overall health and functional limitations based on the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 for a range of daily activities. Results: The largest urban-rural differences in adverse health outcomes were in Shandong (AORs for urban versus rural of 6.32 [95% Confidence Interval 4.53–8.82] for poor or very poor self-rated overall health and 5.14 [CI 3.55–7.44] for functional limitations), followed by Jilin (AORs 2.71 [CI 2.04–3.61] and 4.72 [CI 3.43–6.49]), and Hubei (AORs 2.36 [CI 1.82–3.07] and 4.11 [CI 2.80–6.04]), respectively. Covariates significantly associated with both adverse health outcomes were older age, poor income, no health insurance, and increasing number of chronic diseases. Conclusion: Our study reveals substantial disparities between urban and rural areas observed in both the welldeveloped areas (eg Shandong) and also the lower end of the economic spectrum (eg Hubei and Jilin). Targeted economic development policy and systematic health prevention and healthcare policies could be beneficial in improving health in later life whilst minimising geographical inequalities.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:11:27 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30965 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:07:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24880 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:02:31 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30022 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:14:00 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54635 Wed 06 Mar 2024 10:59:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40862 p = 0.003) and ED presentations (p = 0.021) at 3 months. Within the at-risk subgroup of mild cognitively impaired, the HOME intervention significantly reduced unplanned hospitalizations (p = 0.027), but the effect did not reach significance in ED visits. While the effect of HOME differed according to support received from family for participation in life roles (p = 0.019), the participation observed in HOME patients with no support was not significantly improved. Conclusions: Findings show that hospitalized older adults with mild cognitive impairment benefit from the HOME intervention, which involves preparation and post-discharge support in the environment, to reduce unplanned re-hospitalizations. Improved discharge outcomes in this at-risk subgroup following an occupational therapist-led intervention may enable best care delivery as patients transition from hospital to home.]]> Tue 19 Jul 2022 14:03:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54578 Tue 14 May 2024 14:59:10 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48285 Tue 14 Mar 2023 10:57:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36809 Tue 07 Jul 2020 11:40:42 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39000 Tue 05 Apr 2022 16:01:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35029 Tue 04 Jun 2019 14:19:50 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37772 Thu 15 Apr 2021 13:25:53 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32811 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:39:56 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53925 85 years and those with two or more admissions had greater odds of having CI screening documented. Among patients without CI screening documented, 72% (n = 78) were identified as cognitively impaired. While healthcare providers agreed CI screening was beneficial, they identified lack of time and poor knowledge as barriers to undertaking screening. Conclusions: CI is frequently unrecognised in the hospital setting which is a missed opportunity for the provision of appropriate care. Future research should identify feasible and effective strategies to increase implementation of CI screening in hospitals.]]> Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:41:34 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47245 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:22:32 AEDT ]]>
