Results Logistic regression analyses were used to identify that age (P=0.000), old patients′ disease condition (P=0.008), marriage (P=0.013) and quality of life (P=0.000) were major factors affecting long-term care needs. The top three highest percentage services were seeing the doctor 85.26% (428/502), assisting with taking the medicine 80.28% (403/502), assisting with bathing 70.32% (353/502).
