Analysis of fall risk factors and environmental hazards for older adults in Japan: assessing fall situations and locations.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine falls among older adults in Japanese households and determine the risk associated with each fall location. [Participants and Methods] This study included 99 participants (249 fall events) who received daycare rehabilitation at a nursing care facility. Data on fall circumstances were collected from the medical records and accident reports. The analyzed variables included age, medical status, level of care required, fall history, location, and mode of transportation during the falls. [Results] Falls occurred most commonly in bedrooms. Falls at an entrance were associated with no assistive device (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.06-1.80) and 1 history of falls (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.03-3.10). Risk factors for falls in bedrooms included Parkinson's disease (OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.11-1.87), orthopedic disease (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.15-3.43), and cane walking (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.33-4.13). Falls in a hallway were associated with no assistive device (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.15-1.91). [Conclusion] Bedrooms and hallways in Japanese households were identified as locations with a high risk of falls. The unique architectural and cultural features of Japanese homes may contribute to this risk. Rehabilitation programs should consider individual fall histories, medical conditions, and differences in mobility.
