Associations of sleep quality and fall risk among older adult outpatients at Thai Binh Medical University Hospital, Northern Vietnam.

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
Introduction: Poor sleep quality negatively impact health, reducing quality of life and increasing disease risk. For the elderly, poor sleep quality lead to fatigue and reduced mobility, increasing the risk of falls. In Vietnam, no studies have explored the relationship between sleep quality and fall risk in the elderly. This study aimed to determine the correlation between sleep quality and fall risk among the elderly, providing knowledge for fall prevention in this population in Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 404 elderly patients who visited and were treated as outpatients at Thai Binh University Hospital from October 2023 to June 2024. Direct interviews were conducted using the Fall Risk Questionnaire (FRQ) from STEADI-CDC-2017 (USA), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) with a cut-off score of 7 to assess sleep quality. The FRQ tool used a cut-off score of 4 to evaluate fall risk. Results: The percentage of elderly at risk of falls was 19.6%. The average PSQI score was 11.0 ± 2.7, with 358 (88.6%) elderly patients showing poor sleep quality. Logistic regression analysis showed that higher PSQI scores in the elderly significantly correlated with an increased risk of falls (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.02-1.32, Conclusion: Poor sleep quality are closely related to fall risk among the elderly, alongside other factors such as religion, education, comorbidities, and participation in recreational activities.
