To assess the effects of fall prevention services initiated in the emergency department (ED) to support patients after discharge.
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Analysis of pooled data used random-effects modelling with results presented as a risk ratio (RR).
Eleven studies were identified (n = 4,018). The proportion of older adults who fell did not differ between the intervention and control groups (RR 0.93; 95% CI, 0.82-1.06, I 68%, P = 0.28). There was a significant (P = 0.01) reduction in the monthly rate of falling (RR 0.69; 95% CI, 0.52-0.91, I 93%), fall-related injuries (RR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.59-0.88, I 0%, P = 0.001), and hospital admissions (RR 0.76; 95% CI, 0.64-0.90, I 0%, P = 0.002).
ED fall prevention services did not significantly reduce the proportion of older adults who had future falls. However, multifactorial intervention significantly reduced fall-related injuries and hospital admissions with low heterogeneity.
评估在急诊科(ED)启动的预防跌倒服务对出院后患者的影响。
进行了系统评价和荟萃分析。使用随机效应模型对汇总数据进行分析,结果以风险比(RR)呈现。
确定了 11 项研究(n=4018)。干预组和对照组中跌倒的老年人比例没有差异(RR 0.93;95%CI,0.82-1.06,I 68%,P=0.28)。每月跌倒率显著降低(RR 0.69;95%CI,0.52-0.91,I 93%),跌倒相关伤害(RR 0.72;95%CI,0.59-0.88,I 0%,P=0.001)和住院率(RR 0.76;95%CI,0.64-0.90,I 0%,P=0.002)。
ED 预防跌倒服务并未显著降低老年人未来跌倒的比例。然而,多因素干预显著降低了跌倒相关伤害和住院率,异质性较低。
