In hospitals, the prevalence was 7.7% (95% CI 6.3\u20139.2), and in nursing homes, it was 19.3% (95% CI 16.3\u201322.4). Overall, contractures of the upper extremities were more common among nursing home residents (NH) than among hospital patients (H). This pattern was particularly evident for the hands (NH: 30.8 right, 32.9% left vs. H: 21.5% right, 17.7 left), elbows (NH: 21.9 right, 26.0% left vs. H: 10.8% right, 9.5 left), and shoulders (NH: 28.8 right, 29.5% left vs. H: 18.4% right, 14.6 left). For the lower extremities, a more heterogeneous pattern was observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Statistical Analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The logistic regression model showed that the odds ratio for having at least one contracture for nursing home residents compared with hospital patients was 3.50 (95% CI 2.30\u20135.19), for age (years) 0.97 (95% CI 0.95\u20130.99), for urinary incontinence 1.65 (95% CI 1.14\u20132.38), and for bedridden status 4.15 (95% CI 2.88\u20135.97).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights a high prevalence of contractures, particularly in nursing homes compared with hospitals. Identified associated factors such as urinary incontinence and bedridden status may represent potential targets for preventive and nursing interventions, although causal relationships cannot be inferred from this cross\u2010sectional design. Improved understanding of the prevalence and associated factors of contractures can help enhance quality of care and reduce contracture risk in older, immobile patients, especially in long\u2010term
