ABSTRACT
In a cohort study of 7,820 elderly residents, we explored whether the priority items of the basic checklist predict new issuance of a certificate of needed long-term care. We analyzed data using Cox’s proportional hazard regression, with new issuance of a certificate of needed longterm care as the dependent variable, need for secondary prevention services (determined by the basic checklist results) and required level of specific health guidance as independent variables, and sex, age, place of residence, and use of long-term care prevention services as moderator variables. The results were as follows. The priority items of the basic checklist to assess need for secondary prevention services were useful for screening in both the younger and older elderly populations. Also, more certificates of needed long-term care were issued to those individuals who received secondary prevention services. Furthermore, partial functional impairment was also significantly associated with issuing a new certificate.
