RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between activity limitation stages and patient satisfaction and perceived quality of medical care among younger Medicare beneficiaries. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) for calendar years 2001-2011. PARTICIPANTS: A population-based sample (N=9323) of Medicare beneficiaries <65 years of age living in the community. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: MCBS questions were categorized under 5 patient satisfaction and perceived quality dimensions: care coordination and quality, access barriers, technical skills of primary care physician (PCP), interpersonal skills of PCP, and quality of information provided by PCP. Persons were classified into an activity limitation stage (0-IV) which was derived from self-reported difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). RESULTS: Compared to beneficiaries with no limitations at ADL stage 0, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for stage I (mild) to stage IV (complete) for satisfaction with access barriers ranged from 0.62 (0.53-0.72) at stage I to a minimum of 0.31 (0.22-0.43) at stage IV. Similarly, compared to beneficiaries at IADL stage 0, satisfaction with access barriers ranged from 0.66 (0.55-0.79) at stage I to a minimum of 0.36 (0.26-0.51) at stage IV. Satisfaction with care coordination and quality and perceived quality of medical care were not associated with activity limitation stages. CONCLUSIONS: Younger Medicare beneficiaries with disabilities reported decreased satisfaction with access to medical care, highlighting the need to improve access to health care and human services and to enhance workforce capacity to meet the needs of this patient population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore how activity of daily living (ADL) stages and the perception of unmet needs for home accessibility features associate with a history of falling. DESIGN: Participants were from a nationally representative sample from the Second Longitudinal Survey of Aging conducted in 1994. The sample included 9250 community-dwelling persons 70 yrs or older. The associations of ADL stage and perception of unmet needs for home accessibility features with a history of falling within the past year (none, once, or multiple times) were explored after accounting for sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities using a multinomial logistic regression model. RESULTS: The adjusted relative risk of falling more than once peaked at 4.30 (95% confidence interval, 3.29-5.61) for persons with severe limitation (ADL-III) compared those with no limitation (ADL-0) then declined for those at complete limitation (ADL-IV). The adjusted relative risks of falling once and multiple times were 1.42 (95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.87) and 1.85 (95% confidence interval, 1.44-2.36), respectively, for those lacking home accessibility features. CONCLUSIONS: Risk of falling appeared greatest for those whose homes lacked accessibility features and peaked at intermediate ADL limitation stages, presumably at a point when people have significant disabilities but sufficient function to remain partially active.
