Predictive factors of concern about falling after hospital discharge among older adults with fragility hip fractures: a prospective cohort study.

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
purposeConcern about falling [CaF] is common among older adults, particularly after fragility hip fracture. This condition is associated with adverse health outcomes and a reduced quality of life. The aim of this study is to explore predictors of CaF among older patients with fragility hip fractures 2 weeks after hospital discharge.
methodsA prospective observational cohort study was conducted at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Thailand. Participants were patients aged 60 years and above who had fragility hip fractures and were admitted to the hospital from March 2023 to March 2024. CaF was assessed using the short Falls Efficacy Scale-International 2 weeks after hospital discharge. Predictors examined pre-fall characteristics, fall-related data, surgery-related data, and postoperative data. In the full model approach, the multivariable Gaussian regression was employed to identify predictive factors.
resultsOf the 165 patients included in the study (mean age 78.76 ± 8.72 years), 79.39% were female. In the full model approach, pre-fracture activities of daily living (ADL) < 20 (adjusted mean difference [aMD] 3.44, 95% CI 1.04-5.85, p = 0.005) and shorter in-hospital duration of walking training (aMD - 0.66, 95% CI - 1.10 to - 0.22, p = 0.004) were identified as predictors of CaF at 2 weeks after hospital discharge.
conclusionsThe findings of this study emphasize the importance of assessing pre-fracture functional status and the shorter duration of in-hospital walking training as key predictors of CaF in older adults with fragility hip fractures. Enhancing functional capacity and extending the duration of walking training during hospitalization are crucial steps in reducing CaF in this population.
