Impact of accidental falls on 1-year prognosis or rehospitalization in elderly hospitalized patients with heart failure undergoing cardiac rehabilitation
Accidental falls were associated with poorer prognosis and higher HF readmission risk within one year among older patients. Malnutrition may increase the risk. Pre-admission frailty and psychiatric comorbidities are key fall risk factors, suggesting that frailty interventions may reduce fall incidence and improve outcomes.
