Depression symptoms and cognitive impairment in older nursing home residents in the USA: A latent class analysis.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To identify subgroups of nursing home (NH) residents in the USA experiencing homogenous depression symptoms and evaluate if subgroups vary by cognitive impairment. METHODS:We identified 104?465 newly admitted, long-stay residents with depression diagnosis at NH admission in 2014 using the Minimum Data Set 3.0. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to measure depression symptoms and the Brief Interview of Mental Status for cognitive impairment (intact; moderately impaired; severely impaired). Latent class analysis (LCA) with logistic regression was used to: (a) construct the depression subgroups and (b) estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the associations between the subgroups and cognitive impairment level, adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS:The best-fitted LCA model suggested four subgroups of depression: minimal symptoms (latent class prevalence: 42.4%), fatigue (32.0%), depressed mood (14.5%), and multiple symptoms (11.2%). Odds of subgroup membership varied by cognitive impairment. Compared to residents with intact cognition, those with moderate or severe cognitive impairment were less likely to belong to the fatigue subgroup [aOR(95% CI): moderate: 0.75 (0.71-0.80); severe: 0.26 (0.23-0.29)] and more likely to belong to the depressed mood subgroup [aOR (95% CI): moderate: 4.54 (3.55-5.81); severe: 6.41 (4.86-8.44)]. Residents with moderate cognitive impairment had increased odds [aOR (95% CI): 1.19 (1.12-1.27)] while those with severe impairment had reduced odds of being in the multiple symptoms subgroup [aOR (95% CI): 0.63 (0.58-0.68)]. CONCLUSIONS:Findings provide a basis for improving depression management with consideration of both subgroups of depression symptoms and levels of cognitive function.
