The objective of this study is to describe the elderly who asked for an admission to LTC in The Reykjavík metropolitan area and in Akureyri over a 10 year period. A special attention is paid to factors that could possibly predict survival after PNHA. Material and methods: Every PNHA evaluation is stored in a database by SKYRR Inc. Information from that database regarding all who lived in the greater Reykjavík area and Akureyri and had undergone their first PNHA during the period from January 1st 1992 to 31st of December 2001, was collected. Information about survival was collected from the the Icelandic national registry. There were 4272 individuals in the study group. SPSS was used for statistical analysis. Results: The average enrolment age of men in nursing homes(NH) in Reykjavík was 82.7 -/+ 0.5 years and for women 84.4 -/+ 0.4 (p<0.01). Men were about one third of residents in NH's. The average waiting time for men from the first PNHA to NH placement was 219 -/+ 20 days and for women 290 -/+ 22 days (p<0.01). Of those who were waiting for NH's, 22% of men and 14% of women died without being admitted (p<0,01). The mean survival of men in NH's in Reykjavík was 2.5 -/+ 0.2 years and for women 3.1 -/+ 0.2 years (p<0.01). Factors predicting longer survival for men in Reykjavík were lower age, good mobility and being able to eat but for women the factors were lower age and good mobility. Conclusions: It's in all stakeholders' interest that elderly people are enabled to live at home for as long as possible. Factors that predict survival should be taken into account when the elderly are prioritized for admission to NH's so that elderly who are predicted to have the lowest survival rate of assessed are those admitted first.
