| Opplysninger | The outcome of the transfer of 60 elderly patients suffering from dementia from hospital to nursing home care under a partnership contract was studied at 6 and 12 weeks fowing transfer. Compared with patients remaining in hospital,there was no significant difference in mortality but the nursing home patients exhibited a greater decline in functional ability and a significant excess of pressure sores. Careful planning is required to ensure that such patients do not suffer as a result of transference of care.
