Abstract

Introduction/Aim. Patient falls in hospital conditions are among the most common serious adverse events following a cerebrovascular insult at all stages of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of falls in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Methods. A clinical case-control observational study was conducted in this investigation. The sample consisted of patients who suffered from cerebrovascular diseases and were admitted to the Special Hospital for Cerebrovascular Diseases "Sveti Sava" in Belgrade, in the period from February 3, 2018, to June 28, 2019. The Morse questionnaire was used to assess a fall risk. All statistical calculations were performed using the standard commercial software package SPSS, version 21.0. Results. Most of the subjects with a cerebrovascular insult (505 (90.0%)) had a high risk of falls, i.e. they had the Morse score values ≥ 45. The mean Morse score of the subjects in the study was 67.07 ± 21.08. The risk of falling, according to the Morse score, is the highest among subjects diagnosed with bleeding (95.7%: 96.7%) and left-sided neurological deficit (91.7%:90.8%) in both examined groups. Conclusion. It is of great importance to organizing training programs for patients, healthcare providers, and medical staff to prevent falls in hospital conditions.
脑血管疾病患者跌倒的危险
介绍/目标。患者在住院条件下跌倒是在疾病的所有阶段脑血管损伤后最常见的严重不良事件之一。本研究的目的是调查脑血管疾病患者跌倒的风险。方法。本研究采用临床病例对照观察性研究。样本由2018年2月3日至2019年6月28日期间在贝尔格莱德脑血管疾病“Sveti Sava”专科医院住院的脑血管疾病患者组成。莫尔斯问卷用于评估跌倒风险。所有统计计算均使用标准商业软件包SPSS 21.0进行。结果。大多数脑血管损伤患者(505例(90.0%))有较高的跌倒风险,即莫尔斯评分≥45。研究对象的莫尔斯平均分为67.07±21.08。根据莫尔斯评分,在两组被诊断为出血(95.7%:96.7%)和左侧神经功能障碍(91.7%:90.8%)的受试者中跌倒的风险最高。结论。为患者、医疗保健提供者和医务人员组织培训计划以防止在医院条件下跌倒是非常重要的。
