Nocturia and Nighttime Falls in Older Adults With Hip Fractures: A Retrospective Observational Study
Nocturia, particularly at moderate and severe levels, is independently associated with nighttime falls in older adults with hip fractures. Male sex and mild disturbances in potassium and calcium were also associated with the occurrence of nighttime falls. Our results highlight the importance of incorporating nocturia assessment and basic biochemical screening into comprehensive fall-risk evaluation and prevention strategies in geriatric orthopedic care.
