Noter Aims: To investigate the short-term effect of implementing a modified comprehensive geriatric assessment and regularly case conferencing in nursing homes on neuropsychiatric symptoms. Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common and may persist over time in nursing home residents. Evidence of effective interventions is scarce. Design: A parallel cluster-randomised controlled trial. Methods: The intervention was monthly standardised case conferencing in combination with a modified comprehensive geriatric assessment. The control group received care as usual. Main outcome measure: The total score on the short version of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-Q, 12-items). Results: A total of 309 residents at 34 long-term care wards in 17 nursing homes (unit of randomisation) were included. The intervention care units conducted on average two case conference-meetings (range 1-3), discussing a mean of 4.8 (range 1-8) residents. After 3 months, there were no difference of NPI-Q total score between the intervention (-0.4) and the control group (0.5) (estimated mean difference = -1.0, 95% CI -2.4 to 0.5, p = 0.19). There was a difference in favour of the intervention group on one of the secondary outcome measures, the apathy symptoms (-0.5 95% CI: -0.9 to -0.1, p = 0.03). Conclusion: In this study there were no short-term effect of case conferencing and modified comprehensive geriatric assessments after three months on the total score on neuropsychiatric symptoms. The intervention group had less apathy at 3 months follow-up compared to those receiving care as usual. The findings suggest that a more comprehensive intervention is needed to improve the total Neuropsychiatric symptoms burden and complex symptoms.
