Distribution and Characteristics of Fall Risk Index-21 Scores in Patients with Fall-Related Hip Fractures
These results suggest that caution is needed when interpreting the FRI-21 total score based on preoperative living conditions in post-fracture patients, as it may not adequately reflect fall risk. Considering the characteristics of the FRI-21 score in patients with hip fractures, identifying appropriate fall prevention strategies and healthcare professionals involved may be important for preventing future re-fractures.
