Abstract

<p>Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the predictors of leaving due to hospitalization of poor people staying in supportive accommodation facilities in urban areas.</p><p>Method: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 315 people newly admitted to accommodation facilities from April 2012 to March 2015. The follow-up period was 12 months. Cox regression analysis was performed to assess associations between health status at admission to the facilities and upon departure due to hospitalization.</p><p>Results: Predictors of departure from facilities due to hospitalization included “cancer” and “excretory system disorder.” Cox regression analysis revealed that the hazard ratios for departure from facilities due to hospitalization among those with cancer and excretory system disorder were 4.41 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.86–10.43) and 2.93 (95% CI: 1.31–6.56), respectively.</p><p>Conclusion: Residents with cancer or excretory system disorder at admission to facilities may not be able to attain stable housing in the community due to hospitalization. A care system in cooperation with facility staff and health care professionals is necessary to provide support based on health assessments.</p>
