The purpose of this study was to document prevalence, identify leading indicators, and develop and assess prediction models for nursing home resident outcomes (death, discharge home). New residents (N = 647) in eight nursing homes were evaluated on admission and 3 and 6 months later. Predictor variables tested included 14 health status variables, 5 demographic variables, and 6 other resident and nursing home variables. A cancer diagnosis was the most important risk factor for death at 3 months (OR = 8.0) and 6 months (OR = 10.8). A first nursing home admission was the most important risk factor for discharge to home at 3 months (OR = 9.5) and 6 months (OR = 13.9). Not having a dementia diagnosis was the second most important risk factor for discharge to home at 3 months (OR =5.8) and 6 months (OR = 4.2). All prediction models demonstrated useful potential for clinical application.
