Falls across Health Care Settings : Findings from a Geriatric Screening Program
Falls are a major public health problem for older adults, resulting in injuries and mortality. Screening is recommended to identify the multifactorial fall risks that can be addressed with interventions to prevent future falls. This study examined the utility of using the Rapid Geriatric Assessment (RGA) tool to identify fall risks across multiple settings. RGA data was collected at primary care sites, hospitals, long-term care settings, and community events (n = 8686, 65% female, mean age 77.6). Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine predictors of falls using the RGA. The FRAIL, SARC-F, Rapid Cognitive Screen and SNAQ measures all significantly predicted history of falls. The RGA provides a brief screening that can be used in any setting by multiple providers to identify fall risk.
