Abstract Effective strategies to prevent falls among elderly persons have been identified but are underutilized. In this comparison of a region of Connecticut in which persons were exposed to interventions to prevent falls and a region without such exposure, the interventions were associated with a 9% reduction in serious injuries from falls. These findings suggest that the dissemination of information about fall prevention may reduce numbers of falls and serious injuries. In this comparison of a region of Connecticut in which persons were exposed to interventions to prevent falls and a region without such exposure, the interventions were associated with a 9% reduction in serious injuries from falls. Fall-related injuries are among the most common, morbid, and expensive health conditions involving older adults. 1 – 5 Falls account for 10% of emergency department visits and 6% of hospitalizations among persons over the age of 65 years and are major determinants of functional decline, nursing-home placement, and restricted activity. 6 – 9 The rate of falling rises after the age of 70 years. 1 , 2 , 4 Several factors — such as postural hypotension, the use of multiple medications, and impairments in cognition, vision, balance, gait, and strength — increase the risk of falling and fall injuries. 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 Risk increases as the number . . .
AbstractList Background Falling is a common and morbid condition among elderly persons. Effective strategies to prevent falls have been identified but are underutilized. Methods Using a nonrandomized design, we compared rates of injuries from falls in a region of Connecticut where clinicians had been exposed to interventions to change clinical practice (intervention region) and in a region where clinicians had not been exposed to such interventions (usual-care region). The interventions encouraged primary care clinicians and staff members involved in home care, outpatient rehabilitation, and senior centers to adopt effective risk assessments and strategies for the prevention of falls (e.g., medication reduction and balance and gait training). The outcomes were rates of serious fall-related injuries (hip and other fractures, head injuries, and joint dislocations) and fall-related use of medical services per 1000 person-years among persons who were 70 years of age or older. The interventions occurred from 2001 to 2004, and the evaluations took place from 2004 to 2006. Results Before the interventions, the adjusted rates of serious fall-related injuries (per 1000 person-years) were 31.2 in the usual-care region and 31.9 in the intervention region. During the evaluation period, the adjusted rates were 31.4 and 28.6, respectively (adjusted rate ratio, 0.91; 95% Bayesian credibility interval, 0.88 to 0.94). Between the preintervention period and the evaluation period, the rate of fall-related use of medical services increased from 68.1 to 83.3 per 1000 person-years in the usual-care region and from 70.7 to 74.2 in the intervention region (adjusted rate ratio, 0.89; 95% credibility interval, 0.86 to 0.92). The percentages of clinicians who received intervention visits ranged from 62% (131 of 212 primary care offices) to 100% (26 of 26 home care agencies). Conclusions Dissemination of evidence about fall prevention, coupled with interventions to change clinical practice, may reduce fall-related injuries in elderly persons.
