Development of Fall Risk Assessment Tool for Dementia Hospital Version

本研究探讨了意外跌倒的危险因素，并检查了传统量表的重建，目的是开发一种医院版的评估老年痴呆患者跌倒风险的量表。第一年进行的一项为期6个月的研究分析了777人的数据，其中123人经历过跌倒，并提取了与跌倒相关的项目。第二年，采用重组方法进行了为期3个月的研究。它采用了7个项目，包括痴呆症的行为和心理症状以及失禁，作为基于上述研究结果的量表的一部分，它还审查了分项。该分析包括169人，其中25人经历过跌倒。所使用的比例尺简单，与现有比例尺相比，保持了足够的准确性。我们将进一步检查其可靠性、有效性和可用性。

This study explored risk factors for accidental falls and examined reconstruction of the conventional scales with the aim of developing a hospital-version scale for assessing fall risk in elderly people with dementia. A 6-month study performed in the first year analyzed data on 777 people, of whom 123 experienced falls, and extracted items relevant to falls. In the second year, a 3-month study was performed using a restructured approach. It adopted seven items, including behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and continence, as part of a scale based on the results of the above research, and it also examined sub-items. Included in the analysis were 169 people, of whom 25 experienced falls. The scale used was simple and maintained an adequate degree of accuracy compared with existing scales. We will be further examining its reliability, validity, and availability.
