Abstract

We analyzed prospectively the incidence, the intrinsic and extrinsic factors and the consequences of falls during a 7-month period in 4 institutions in Finland in 1993. A total of 370 falls among 160 patients were recorded. Of the fallers 56% fell once and 44% more than once (range 2-24). The mean fall rate in men was higher than that in women (p < 0.01). Fallen men were younger but less ambulatory than women. Of the falls 95% occurred without eyewitness and 27% during the night shift; 30% (114/370) resulted in an injury and 7% (11/160) of the fallers suffered a fracture.

摘要

1993年，我们对芬兰4家机构7个月期间跌倒的发生率、内在和外在因素以及后果进行了前瞻性分析。共记录了160名患者的370次跌倒事件。跌倒者中，56%跌倒1次，44%跌倒不止1次（范围为2 - 24次）。男性的平均跌倒率高于女性（p < 0.01）。跌倒的男性比女性年轻，但活动能力较差。95%的跌倒事件无目击者，27%发生在夜班期间；30%（114/370）导致受伤，7%（11/160）的跌倒者发生骨折。
