External Validation of the Saga Fall-Related Injury Risk Model and Exploration of Common Factors in Multiple Hospitals: A Retrospective Observational Study
The SFIRM demonstrated low discrimination in a population from various hospitals. The predictive models for fall-related injuries require redevelopment and validation to suit various hospitals. In the multivariate analyses across hospitals, age, bedriddenness ranks, male sex, history of falls, and diabetes mellitus were common and significant factors associated with fall-related injuries. These factors are most favorable for developing a predictive model for fall-related injuries.
