Abstract

Objective To investigate the risks and causes of falling among elderly inpatients. Methods A total of 700 reports from relevant departments about risks of falling among elderly inpatients were collected between November 2010 and December 2011. Results Risks of falling were attributed to diseases in 571 patients (81.6%) to inactivity in 511 patients (73%), to daily medication in 498 patients (71.2%), to physiological factors in 427(61.0%), and to history of falls in 210 30.0%). Conclusion Disease, lack of activity, medication, physiological factors and history of falls are important reasons to assess hospitalized elderly patients at high risk of falling.
