Karen M van Leeuwen,Miriam S. van Loon,Fenna van Nes,Judith E. Bosmans,Henrica C.W. de Vet,Johannes C.F. Ket,Guy Widdershoven,Raymond W. J. G. Ostelo +7 more
TL;DR: QoL can be expressed in a number of domains and related subthemes that are important for older adults living at home, and the results showed that although different domains can be distinguished, these are also strongly connected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-perceived met and unmet care needs of frail older adults in primary care.
Emiel O. Hoogendijk,Maaike E. Muntinga,Karen M van Leeuwen,Henriëtte E. van der Horst,Dorly J. H. Deeg,Dinnus H.M. Frijters,Lotte A H Hermsen,Aaltje P. D. Jansen,Giel Nijpels,Hein P.J. van Hout +9 more
TL;DR: Regression analyses revealed that Activities of Daily Living limitations and a higher frailty score were the most important determinants of both met and unmet care needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing measurement properties of the EQ-5D-3L, ICECAP-O, and ASCOT in frail older adults.
Karen M van Leeuwen,Judith E. Bosmans,Aaltje P. D. Jansen,Emiel O. Hoogendijk,Maurits W. van Tulder,Henriëtte E. van der Horst,Raymond W. J. G. Ostelo,Raymond W. J. G. Ostelo +7 more
TL;DR: The adoption of ICECAP-O and ASCOT as outcome measures in economic evaluations of care interventions for older adults that have a broader aim than health-related QOL because they are at least as reliable as the EQ-5D-3L and are associated with aspects of QOL broader than health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of a Geriatric Care Model for frail older adults in primary care: Results from a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial
Emiel O. Hoogendijk,Emiel O. Hoogendijk,Henriëtte E. van der Horst,Peter M. van de Ven,Jos W. R. Twisk,Dorly J. H. Deeg,Dinnus H.M. Frijters,Karen M van Leeuwen,Karen M van Leeuwen,Jos P. C. M. van Campen,Giel Nijpels,Aaltje P. D. Jansen,Hein P.J. van Hout +12 more
TL;DR: The GCM did not show beneficial effects on quality of life in frail older adults in primary care, compared to usual care, and this study strengthens the idea that comprehensive care programs add very little to usual primary care for this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementing the chronic care model for frail older adults in the Netherlands: study protocol of ACT (frail older adults: care in transition)
Maaike E. Muntinga,Emiel O. Hoogendijk,Karen M van Leeuwen,Hein P.J. van Hout,Jos W. R. Twisk,Henriëtte E. van der Horst,Giel Nijpels,Aaltje P. D. Jansen +7 more
TL;DR: The level of implementation, barriers and facilitators to successful implementation and the extent to which the intervention manages to achieve the transition necessary to overcome challenges in elderly care are investigated.
