Management of the situation requires a systemic response, and post-acute care (PAC) can provide an adequate mix of active treatment, management of associated geriatric syndromes and palliative care, both in the acute phase, and in post-COVID-19 recovery.

     summary: We review the tests available to diagnose COVID-19 infections, the implications of universal testing for nursing home staff and residents, interpretation of test results, issues around repeat testing, and incorporation of test results as part of a long-term response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts by states to relax stay-at-home orders, reopen businesses, and even 298 encourage tourism 38 contribute to increased spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the community which in 299 turn means increased risk for nursing home staff to acquire and transmit the virus to their 300 residents.

     summary: The COVID-19 infected residents were divided into groups: 1) residents administered metformin alone or in combination with other medications, 2) residents who used long acting or daily insulin, 3) residents administered other diabetes medications, and 4) residents not administered diabetes medication, including non-diabetics and untreated diabetics. These findings suggest a relative survival benefit in nursing home residents on metformin, potentially through its mTOR inhibition effects.

Planned ventilation was more common among participants at home hospital, and the initiation of ventilation (prior to intubation) was discussed with the patient or family members and/or custodians among 74% vs 43% (P ¼ .001) of home vs LTAC PMV patients, respectively.

     summary: Pneumonia is a common cause of illness among nursing home residents, with approximately 1 case occurring for every 1000 days of nursing home care provided, prior to the current COVID-19 global pandemic. The few prior studies of functional decline among nursing home patients following pneumonia have relied on assessments performed up to 6 months prior to admission or performed assessments of functional status at the time of discharge, which may have over-or underestimated the severity of function in the days to weeks following discharge.

     summary: While the proportion of deaths occurring in LTC homes at an international level has been explored, population-specific mortality rates for LTC home residents and their comparison to rates for community-dwelling older and younger persons have neither been calculated nor analyzed. Our results suggest that the level of community transmission, as reflected in the mortality rate for community-dwelling persons, and the level of policy response related to infection prevention and control practices in LTC homes and at the broader community level were important factors driving LTC home resident mortality rates.
