The role of adapted physical activity (APA) in the risk of falls was also assessed. Methods: With a Kaplan鈥揗eier statistical model, the mean survivor time (MST) to a fall event was recorded for 6 months in 128 new-admitted patients to nursing home. Demographic factors such as sex, ...
Falls in the elderly are an increasing problem causing a high degree of morbidity, mortality, and use of health care services. Identification of risk factors through medical assessment supports the provision of appropriate interventions that reduce rates of falling. Evaluation and intervention strategies...
6.11±2.66.The significant differences were observed among patients with different ages and different fall risks.The score of fall risk was negative correlated with that of fall efficacy(r=-0.377,P0.01).Conclusion It is important to evaluate fall risk of hospitalized elderly patients from ...
Currently, the debate in fall literature is whether fall risk prediction is feasible such that new interventions could target modifiable risk factors36. In this study, we developed a random forest (RF) classification model using features extracted from linear and nonlinear gait parameters for fall ri...
Factors such as symptoms of falling, disease and physical symptoms, and physical function are also related to fall risk in this population. Furthermore, elderly individuals with severe knee pain experience frequent falls.doi:10.4236/pst.2014.24020Hiroki Sugiura...
Falls are also a leading cause of nonfatal injuries in seniors. People are living longer, but the increased longevity makes us more susceptible to frailty and other health conditions that increase therisk of falls. The elderly are also more likely to take medications that raise their...
Study investigates connection between loneliness, social isolation and increased fall risk for the elderly.
Among patients without mitral stenosis, there is a graded relationship of stroke risk with the number of CHADS2 risk factors. Warfarin is the recommended treatment for embolic stroke prophylaxis in AF in intermediate- to high-risk patients. However, elderly patients who are deemed to be at risk...
Perceived inadequate sleep was also associated with pneumonia with a relative risk of 1.50 (95% CI 1.29-1.74) in multivariate models.Both reduced and ... SR Patel,A Malhotra,X Gao,... - 《Sleep》 被引量: 127发表: 2012年 Sleep and frailty syndrome in elderly residents of long-stay insti...
aResearch has consistently demonstrated that multiple factors are associated with falling in elderly and hospitalized patients and that fall risk increases as the number of factors 研究一贯地显示出多个因素同下落在年长联系在一起和住医院的患者,并且,秋天风险增加当因素的数量[translate]...
