To analyze the cost-effectiveness of the Morse Fall Scale by clinical big data for nurses in the prevention of falls in hospitalized patients.
A total of 59 358 hospitalized patients, who came from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in 1 year before nurses were trained by the Morse Fall Scale, served as a control, including 26 862 males and 32 496 females. While the 66 203 hospitalized patients served as an observation group in 1 year after nurses were trained by the Morse Fall Scale, including 29 881 males and 36 322 females. The time spent by clinical nurses in the fall-risk assessment and the fall number were recorded in the 2 groups, and the relationship was analyzed between the Morse Fall Scale assessment and the clinical ending along with the labor cost of nursing. The cost-effectiveness was analyzed. In addition, the incidence of fall in the observation group was compared between the falling high-risk patients and the non-high-risk patients.
The Morse Fall Scale showed that the incidences of fall in the observation group and the control group were 3.39/100 000 and 3.82/100 000,respectively, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (=0.807, >0.05); the injury rates of falls of Grade 2 and above in the observation group and the control group were 27.30% and 20.00%, respectively, with no significant difference (χ=0.345, >0.05); but the labor cost was increased by 130 641.82 Chinses Yuan, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was 43 547.27. However, the incidence of fall was significant higher in the falling high-risk patients by the assessment of the Morse Fall Scale than that in the non-high-risk patients (=2.941, <0.05).
The evaluation of the Morse Fall Scale has a certain effect, but it is limited in the prevention of falls in adult hospitalized patients, and the cost-effectiveness analysis is not good. It is recommended to implement the intervention measures for high-risk patients after the assessment, which may improve the management level and efficiency of fall prevention.
通过临床大数据分析 Morse 跌倒量表在预防住院患者跌倒方面的成本效益。
选取中南大学湘雅三医院 1 年前接受 Morse 跌倒量表培训的护士预防跌倒的 59358 例住院患者为对照组,其中男 26862 例,女 32496 例;1 年后接受 Morse 跌倒量表培训的护士预防跌倒的 66203 例住院患者为观察组,其中男 29881 例,女 36322 例。记录两组临床护士在跌倒风险评估和跌倒次数上花费的时间,并分析 Morse 跌倒量表评估与临床结局的关系,以及护理劳动力成本。进行成本效益分析。此外,比较观察组中跌倒高风险患者和非高风险患者的跌倒发生率。
Morse 跌倒量表显示观察组和对照组的跌倒发生率分别为 3.39/100000 和 3.82/100000,两组间差异无统计学意义(=0.807,>0.05);观察组和对照组跌倒损伤程度为 2 级及以上的发生率分别为 27.30%和 20.00%,差异无统计学意义(χ=0.345,>0.05);但劳动力成本增加了 130641.82 元,增量成本效益比为 43547.27。然而,通过 Morse 跌倒量表评估,跌倒高风险患者的跌倒发生率明显高于非高风险患者(=2.941,<0.05)。
Morse 跌倒量表的评估具有一定的效果,但在预防成人住院患者跌倒方面效果有限,成本效益分析不佳。建议在评估后对高风险患者实施干预措施,这可能会提高跌倒预防的管理水平和效率。
