Abstract |
|---|
Multiple logistic regression models, developed in the analyses of one prospective study, were used to identify the probability of institutionalization in the short- and long-term for elderly persons with various constellations of high risk characteristics. Illustrated are the distinct advantages of using combinations of traits instead of individual predictors for screening and for program planning.
