Brown Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research Ten Fold Variation in Feeding Tube Use Among Persons with Severe Dementia Brown Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research

Feeding Tube Use Among Persons with Severe Dementia Joan M Teno, MD, MS Vincent Mor, Ph.D. Debra DeSilva, B.S. Glen Kabumoto, M.P.H. Jason Roy, Ph.D. Terrie Wetle, Ph.D. www.chcr.brown.edu/dying/factsondying.htm

Brown Atlas Site of Death Increasingly, NH are the site of death in the USA In 2020, it is projected that 40% of persons will die in NH www.chcr.brown.edu/dying/factsondying.htm

Use of Feeding Tubes In Persons with Severe Dementia Difficulty swallowing with resultant weight loss and recurrent aspiration is often a harbinger of the terminal phase of dementia. The role of feeding tubes in delaying death and/or enhancing the quality of life is controversial. Two authoritative summaries of the scientific evidence question the efficacy of feeding tubes in patients with dementia.(1;2)

Purpose Examine the state variation in the use of feeding tubes and explore potential explanations.

Methods (1) Secondary analysis of National Repository Data of Minimum Data Set Examined rates of “feeding tube use” among all nursing home residents around April 1, 1999. Using state as the unit of analysis, we examined the potential explanations for the state differences in the use of feeding tubes among severely cognitively impaired persons. Factors examined include: 1) whether state law placed additional restrictions on forgoing feeding tube use based on a review conducted by the American Bar Association (3); 2) state daily Medicaid payment as published by Swan and colleagues(5); and, 3) rate of DNR orders and orders to forgo artificial hydration and nutrition in severely demented nursing home residents as reported in the Resident Assessment Instrument that composes the MDS. All these potential explanations of state variation in use of feeding tubes were entered into a multivariate linear regression model that included RUGS case mix index to adjust for state differences in disease severity.

Predictors of State Use of Feeding Tubes Characteristic B0 95% CI Use of DNR order among persons with severe dementia -.45 -.33 to -.56 Included in the model were 1) whether state law placed additional restrictions on forgoing feeding; 2) state daily Medicaid payment; 3) use of orders to forgo feeding tubes, and 4) RUGS Case Mix Index. Neither difference in state law, orders to forgo feeding tubes, nor daily Medicaid payment were associated with differences in state use of feeding tubes

Limitations Assessments were based on the MDS, that is completed by staff. Information on patient preferences was based only on physicians’ documentation of orders to forgo artificial hydration and nutrition.

Conclusion We report nearly ten fold differences in the states’ rate of feeding tube use. Inter-state differences in physician practices of writing DNR orders were related to feeding tube use, whereas other state policies were not. Given existing evidence that the use of feeding tubes in patients with severe dementia is of questionable benefit, our results call for a dialogue regarding the use of feeding tubes.
