本描述性研究的目的是评估Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale （HDFS）是否能识别出住院儿科患者中跌倒的高风险。该研究采用匹配病例对照设计。153例跌倒的儿科病例和153例未跌倒的对照组的图表回顾按年龄、性别和诊断进行配对。高危患者的下降率几乎是低危患者的两倍（优势比1.87，可信区间= 1.01,3.53,p = 0.03）。使用HDFS工具的儿童跌倒预防项目解决了联合委员会患者安全目标，但需要进一步的研究来检查HDFS的敏感性特异性。
The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess whether the Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale (HDFS) identifies hospitalized pediatric patients at high risk for falls.The study was a matched case-control design. A chart review of 153 pediatric cases who fell and 153 controls who did not fall were pair-matched by age, gender, and diagnosis.High-risk patients fell almost twice as often as low-risk patients (odds ratio 1.87, confidence interval = 1.01, 3.53, p = .03).A Falls Prevention Pediatric Program with the HDFS tool addresses the Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals, but further research is needed to examine HDFS sensitivity-specificity.
