Abstract
Purpose: Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) include several chronic (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) and acute (e.g. bleeding gastric ulcer, diarrhoea) conditions that can be effectively managed in the outpatient setting. However, if appropriate and timely ambulatory care is not provided, individuals may need costly in-hospital care which was potentially avoidable. Previous research documented elevated risks of suboptimal care for people with multimorbidity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between incipient dementia and hospital admission for ACSCs among people with osteoarthritis (OA).
