Characteristics of NHRs were analysed descriptively and stratified by 5 two-year cohorts.

Over the years, the proportion of men and the mean age slightly increased. Prevalence of dementia remained nearly stable (45\u201348%) while cancer prevalence raised from 30 to 37%. Overall, median survival time decreased from 745\u00a0days in 2011\/2012 to 615\u00a0days in 2019\/2020. Survival times in residents with dementia decreased significantly (median survival from 790 to 651\u00a0days) while it remained nearly unchanged in cancer patients (from 444 to 410\u00a0days).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We found that survival after nursing home admission decreased in Germany from 2011 to 2020, which was accompanied by shorter survival in residents with dementia and by an increasing proportion of those with cancer, who already experience higher mortality.
