Association of Fall Timing and Location With Clinical Characteristics in Geriatric Hip Fracture Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Our findings indicate that falls during the daytime were more prevalent among geriatric hip fracture patients in Taiwan compared to nighttime falls. Moreover, we observed that more frail patients were relatively susceptible to falling indoors and at night, emphasizing the potential clinical value for clinicians to take proactive measures in fall prevention.

Our findings indicate that falls during the daytime were more prevalent among geriatric hip fracture patients in Taiwan compared to nighttime falls. Moreover, we observed that more frail patients were relatively susceptible to falling indoors and at night, emphasizing the potential clinical value for clinicians to take proactive measures in fall prevention.
