This longitudinal study aims to compare the role of stride time variability (STV) and EDSS for predicting falls in 50 patients with multiple sclerosis with low disability. 21.7 % developed falls (follow-up: 22 months). STV (IRR: 1.73, 95 % CI: 1.23-2.41, p = 0.001) and EDSS (IRR: 2.29, 95 % CI: 1.35-3.90, p = 0.002) were associated with the number of falls. Adding STV to EDSS improves the predictive power of the model from 21 to 26 %, but not adding EDSS to STV.
这项纵向研究旨在比较步幅时间变异性(STV)和扩展残疾状态量表(EDSS)在预测50例轻度残疾多发性硬化症患者跌倒方面的作用。21.7%的患者出现跌倒(随访时间:22个月)。STV(发病率比:1.73,95%置信区间:1.23 - 2.41,p = 0.001)和EDSS(发病率比:2.29,95%置信区间:1.35 - 3.90,p = 0.002)与跌倒次数相关。将STV加入EDSS可使模型的预测能力从21%提高到26%,但将EDSS加入STV则不然。
