The 2004 National Nursing Home Survey collected cross-sectional data for 11,939 nursing home residents aged 65 years representing 1.32 million individuals. That year, 24.6% of nursing home residents had diabetes as a primary admission and/or current diagnosis. Diabetes was present in 22.5 and 35.6% of white and nonwhite residents, respectively. Diabetic residents were admitted more often from acute care hospitals (42.5 vs. 35.3%), were more likely to have a length of stay 100 days (22.6 vs. 20.1%), and took more medications (10.3 vs. 8.4). Diabetic residents had 39% higher odds of having emergency department visits in the previous 90 days and 56% higher odds of having a pressure ulcer at the time of the survey. In the U.S. in 2004, one in four nursing home residents aged 65 years had diabetes, and diabetic residents had increased odds of several unfavorable outcomes that are important for care planning.
