This has been written primarily for parents to supplement the services of the public health or visiting nurse in the home of a family with a rheumatic fever patient. It shows through the text and through many photographs, the course of an 11 year old child with rheumatic fever; first in bed at rest, then the successive stages of recovery back to full activity, pointing out the physical, emotional, mental and social care needed at these stages. The photographs are excellent and illustrate the application of the written material in the text.

Abstract For older adults, the transition from hospital to home is a high-risk period for adverse drug events, functional decline, and hospital readmission. Randomized trials of interventions to improve this transition must recruit potential subjects immediately after hospital discharge, when people are recovering and tired. Within a randomized trial assessing the impact of a pharmacist home visit to provide medication assistance immediately post-discharge, we determined whether individuals who enrolled were comparable to those who were invited but did not enroll, and described reasons for not enrolling. Individuals ≥50 years of age discharged from the hospital and prescribed a high-risk medication were eligible. We attempted to recruit individuals by phone within 3 days of discharge, and recorded reasons for not enrolling. Of 3,606 eligible individuals reached, 3,147 (87%) declined, 361 (10%) were enrolled, and 98 (3%) were initially recruited but did not complete a consent form. Individuals ≥80 years of age (odds ratio 0.45, CI 0.25, 0.78) and those with an assigned visiting nurse (odds ratio 0.64, CI 0.48, 0.85) were least likely to enroll. Among those who provided a reason for declining (2,473) the most common reason given was the belief they did not need medication assistance (22%). An additional 332 (13%) declined because they were receiving visiting nurse services. Recruiting older adults recently discharged from the hospital is difficult and may under-enroll the oldest individuals, limiting the ability to generalize findings across older patient populations. Researchers planning RCTs among newly discharged older adults may need creative approaches to overcome resistance.
