Abstract:

Falls in hospital are common and have serious consequences for patients, including physical and psychological harm, increase length of stay and hospital costs. A systematic approach is required to report and identify factors contributing to in-hospital falls and develop interventions to reduce inpatient fall rates. Different hospital settings have different fall rates and characteristics depending on type of hospital service and admission diagnosis. Screening tools were developed to assess fall risk but are usually insensitive to be useful in reducing falls. There is also a need for prospectiv

Abstract:

Falls are a substantial hazard to the health and independence of older adults in the United States. It is purported that one in every three older adults fall annually, generally resulting in devastating injuries. A number of factors have been identified that influence the risk of falling in the elderly population. It is believed that providing assessments to identify an individual’s risk factors ahead of time and addressing these factors, to reduce or eliminate the risk(s), will reduce the frequency and severity of falls. Identifying and addressing these risk factors is a multifaceted concept,

Falls among older people are a major economic and public health problem. Due to the demographic change and aging of populations, there is an urgent need for accurate screening tools to identify those at risk to target effective falls prevention strategies. Clinical fall risk assessments are costly and time-consuming and thus cannot be performed frequently.

Abstract:

Introduction. Patients receiving cancer treatment are at high risk for falls. No current guidelines or standards of care exist for assessment and prevention of outpatient oncology falls. This quality improvement project’s purpose was to 1) describe and evaluate outpatient oncology falls data to determine root cause(s) and develop, implement, and evaluate intervention strategies for future policy refinement, and 2) compare fall rates pre/post implementation of a system-wide Ambulatory Fall Risk Bundle. Methods. Retrospective data were used to describe and categorize fall incidence for the Unive

Abstract:

Occurrence of falls with advancing age is the most common phenomenon observed in the elder population. Degenerative changes in the somatosensory system as well with decline in cognition are the most common contributing factors. Gradual deterioration in the processing of higher mental functions has the potential to increase the episodes of falls. Incidence of fall in geriatrics residing in an institutionalised old age home are the most common cause of concern as it increases their level of dependence on the caregivers. Present study aims to evaluate risk of fall in institutionalised elderly wit

Abstract:

Abstract Decreasing fall risk and maintaining independence is vital for community dwelling older adults. Nutritional status and rural residence may be independent predictors of falls. The aim of this study was to evaluate if nutritional status and rurality are positively associated with fall risk and predictive of future falls in community-dwelling older adults. We used data from a health risk assessment conducted by the Support and Services at Home organization serving Medicare beneficiaries in Vermont in 2017-2019 (N=3109; 79.6 years ±8.4, 75% female).

Abstract:

Falls are common among older people and a major public health challenge. This article describes why falls are more common among older people, the potential causes of falls and what assessments should be undertaken to inform preventive interventions. District nurses are well placed to contribute to the understanding of why an older person has had a fall as part of a falls risk assessment.

Falls are common and preventable adverse events that occur in a hospital setting. Falls can cause pain, damage, increase cost and mistrust in the health system. Inpatient fall is a multifactorial event which can be reduced with multistrategic interventions.In this project, we aimed to reduce the fall rate in paediatric ward of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital, Bhutan by 25% from the baseline over a period of 6 months by focusing on fall risk assessment, staff education on fall prevention measures and devoting more attention to patients at high risk of fall.We tested three sets

Abstract:

One of the goals of patient safety is to prevent patient falls. Patient falls are an incident in hospitals that result in injury and even death of patients and are the second most common adverse event in health services after medication errors. Nurses can prevent falls by implementing fall prevention guidelines such as closely monitoring patients at high risk of falling and involving the patient's family to avoid falls. Nurses have a role in assessing and managing falls in patients by providing education to patients and taking fall prevention measures based on applicable Standard Operating Pro

Falls have been recognized as the major cause of accidental death and injury in people aged 65 and above. The timely prediction of fall risks can help identify older adults prone to falls and implement preventive interventions. Recent advancements in wearable sensor-based technologies and big data analysis have spurred the development of accurate, affordable, and easy-to-use approaches to fall risk assessment.

We compared PPA test performance between people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls, determined the fall-risk profile for people with MS and developed a reference database for people with MS. Methods For this study, 416 ambulant people with MS (51.5 ± 12.0 years) and 352 controls (52.8 ± 12.2 years) underwent the PPA (tests of contrast sensitivity, proprioception, quadriceps strength, reaction time and sway) with composite fall-risk scores computed from these

Abstract:

The clinical and epidemiological literature provides guidelines for fall prevention starting at age 65; however, the focus on age ≥65 is not evidence based. Therefore, this study examined state-wide North Carolina emergency department visit data to examine the characteristics of falls across the age spectrum, identify the age at which the incidence of fall-related emergency department visits started to increase and determine whether these trends were similar for men and women. We determined that incidence rates of fall-related emergency department visits began to increase in early middle age,

Abstract:

The prevention of falls in the elderly could be based on risk assessment and the prediction of when an individual is likely to sustain an injury. A telecare system should allow the dynamic assessment of risk to be produced by a control centre computer, based on data transmitted from local sensors in the elderly person's home. A fall risk index could be calculated from mobility, activities of daily living and medication. However, substantial data-sets will be required before such fall risk indices attain statistical significance. As they are developed, fall prediction algorithms could be consta
