Classification and influencing factors of fear of falling in elderly stroke patients: A latent profile analysis.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore the potential categories of fear of falling in elderly stroke patients and analyze the differences in characteristics and influencing factors among patients in different categories.
methodsAA total of 386 elderly stroke patients hospitalized in the Department of Neurology of a tertiary grade A general hospital in Jilin Province from March 2024 to June 2024 were selected as research subjects using the convenience sampling method. A general information questionnaire, Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used for the survey. Mplus 8.3 software was applied to conduct latent profile analysis (LPA) on fear of falling in elderly stroke patients to identify potential categories, and multivariate logistic regression was used to further explore the influencing factors of each category.
resultsThere were 3 potential categories of fear of falling in elderly stroke patients: the high fear of falling group (21.8%), moderate fear of falling group (38.3%), and low fear of falling group (39.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, type of stroke diagnosis, visual status, hearing status, limb strength, coping style, and social support were the influencing factors for the potential categories of fear of falling in elderly stroke patients.
conclusionFear of falling in elderly stroke patients has obvious categorical characteristics. Medical staff should implement targeted interventions based on the characteristics and influencing factors of different potential categories to reduce patients' fear of falling.
