Rate and risk factors for inpatient falls following single-level posterior lumbar fusion: A national registry study
In this national sample of patients who underwent single-level PLF, postoperative IPFs were identified for 1.4% and were associated with defined patient variables. These findings have potential patient outcome, financial, and medicolegal implications and should help guide refinement of fall prevention programs.
