Falls-risk screening for older adults in the ER
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at emergency department (ER) visits to see whether a falls-risk screening tool helps identify people at higher risk of falling and ensures they get the right follow-up after leaving the ER. It uses past records from older adults who were discharged.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were seen in the emergency department (ER).
