The tool consists of 6 fall risk parameters: ■ History of falling looks at whether the patient had an episode of falling...
The table below introduces the items in the scale and the number of points awarded depending on the answer choice: There are three types of fall risk to be extracted from the final score and each of these has a different recommendation for intervention:
Morseet al. have conducted a study on the morbidity and mortality of the elderly patient, in 1989, with specific interest into patient falls. The discriminant analysis performed on the above six items, correctly classified 80.5% of the patients. During validation, similar results were obtained. The characteristics of the scale were: ■ 78% sensitivi...
