To study the accumulated incidence of falls of people hospitalised with cancer and analyse the related intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
A prospective study of people hospitalised with cancer at the Catalan Institute of Oncology.
Intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors related to the fall have been studied. The data were gathered from the clinical history and a specific adverse events notification programme and patients were followed during hospitalisation.
A total of 117 of 6090 patients admitted during the period of study were included, with an accumulated incidence of falls of 0.019. Mean age 63.4 years (SD 11.5) and 65.5% men. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 25.6% of the total number of falls, followed by haematological cancer at 24.8%. Most falls were without consequences (71.8%). The data reveal that people hospitalised with cancer are at greater risk of falling, even though the accumulated incidence observed in the present study is low.
研究因癌症住院患者跌倒的累积发生率，并分析相关的内在和外在因素。
在加泰罗尼亚肿瘤研究所对因癌症住院的患者进行的前瞻性研究。
研究了与跌倒相关的内在因素和外在因素。数据来自于临床病史和专门的不良事件报告程序，患者在住院期间接受了随访。
在研究期间收治的 6090 名患者中，共有 117 名患者发生跌倒，累积发生率为 0.019。平均年龄为 63.4 岁（标准差为 11.5），其中 65.5%为男性。肺癌患者占总跌倒人数的 25.6%，其次是血液癌占 24.8%。大多数跌倒没有造成后果（71.8%）。数据显示，因癌症住院的患者跌倒风险较高，尽管本研究观察到的累积发生率较低。
