The drug consumptions of 2228 residents in nursing homes aged 65 years and over were investigated and related to accidental falls during a period of seven months. 95% of the residents received treatment with one or more drugs and 33% with six or more drugs. The risk of accidental falls was significantly increased in persons receiving hypnotics, psychomarmaca and anti-Parkinson medicine. Individuals receiving diuretics, particularly thiazides, were less at risk for accidental falls. This investigation revealed an increased risk of falls particularly when residents were receiving treatment with a short-term hypnotic (Triazolam). It is recommended that this finding should be investigated further.
对2228名65岁及以上养老院居民的药物消费情况进行了调查，并将其与七个月期间的意外跌倒情况相关联。95%的居民接受了一种或多种药物治疗，33%的居民接受了六种或更多药物治疗。接受催眠药、精神药物和抗帕金森药物治疗的人意外跌倒风险显著增加。接受利尿剂治疗的人，尤其是噻嗪类利尿剂，意外跌倒风险较低。这项调查显示，尤其是当居民接受短期催眠药（三唑仑）治疗时，跌倒风险会增加。建议对这一发现进行进一步调查。
