Predictive Performance of the KINDER 1 Fall Risk Assessment Tool in a Regional Health System
KINDER 1 exhibited a sufficiently high degree of sensitivity and specificity, supporting an acceptable level of predictive performance. Additional research is recommended to compare the reliability and predictive validity of KINDER 1 to the emergency Hester Davis Scale and the Memorial Emergency Department Fall Risk Assessment Tool, as well as to compare the usability of the tools for nurses in a triage setting.
