Abstract Background We developed a prototype minimum data set (MDS) for English care homes, assessing feasibility of extracting directly from digital records (DCRs) with linkage to health and social data. Methods Through stakeholder development workshops, literature reviews, surveys public consultation, we an aspirational MDS. identified ways extract this existing sources, including DCRs routine datasets. To address gaps, added validated measures delirium, cognitive impairment, functional...
To assess the feasibility of capturing older care home residents' quality life (QoL) in digital social records and construct validity (hypothesis testing) internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) four QoL measures. Cross-sectional data collected wave 1 DACHA (Developing resources And minimum dataset for Care Homes' Adoption) study, a mixed-methods pilot prototype (MDS). homes (with or without nursing) registered to provide adults (>65 years) and/or those living with dementia.

Historically, there has been higher and earlier mortality among people with intellectual disability as compared to the general population, but have also methodological problems differences in available studies.Data were drawn from 2012 National Intellectual Disability Database Census Ireland.

A number quality life (QoL) measures could be used but there is little evidence for England as which would appropriate. Using data from a pilot Minimum Data Set (MDS) home residents the Developing resources And minimum dataset Care Homes’ Adoption (DACHA) study, we assessed construct validity QoL and analysed factors associated with QoL. This was...

We examine the role of trading volumes in Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH)-based tests Mixture Distributions Hypothesis (MDH) on firm-level data for 20 largest Fortune 500 stocks. In doing so, we provide a set increasingly generalized nested models within which to volumes, beginning with AR(1)-GARCH(1,1) model no progressing univariate AR(1)-GARCH(1,1)-X, AR(1)-GARCH(1,1)-M and AR(1)-GARCH(1,1)-M-X models, constant correlation bivariate model, culminating...
