Abstract Background Falls in later life that require admission to hospital have well-established consequences for future disability and health. The likelihood and severity of a fall will result from the presence of one or more risk factors. The aim of this study is to examine risk factors identified for their ability to prevent falls and to assess whether they are associated with hospital admission after a fall. Methods Analyses of data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA), a prospective cohort study. In a sample of 3783 men and women older than 60 years old, a range of potential risk factors measured at Wave 4 (demographic, social environment, physical, and mental functioning) were examined as predictors of fall-related hospitalizations, identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) code from linked hospital records in the United Kingdom. Subdistribution hazard models were used to account for competing risk of death. Results Several risk factors identified by previous work were confirmed. Suffering from urinary incontinence (subdistribution hazard ratio = 1.49; 95% CI: 1.14, 1.95) and osteoporosis (subdistribution hazard ratio = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.05, 2.07), which are not commonly considered at an early stage of screening, were found to be associated with hospital admission after a fall. Both low and moderate levels of physical activity were also found to somewhat increase the risk of hospital admission after a fall. Conclusions Several predictors of having a fall, severe enough to require hospital admission, have been confirmed. In particular, urinary incontinence should be considered at an earlier point in the assessment of risk.

Background: The effect of delirium of hospitalized inpatients on post-discharge cognitive status and survival of older patients remains unclear, and little is known about the related risk factors of cognitive impairment after delirium. Objectives: To determine one-year survival of patients with delirium and cognitive dysfunction in elderly inpatients after initial hospital admission. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 100 patients with delirium admitted to a general hospital from October 2018 to November 2019. Cognitive dysfunction and death were the primary outcomes. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was used to measure cognitive function. Results: In this study, 12 patients died in hospital and cumulative three-month mortality was 40%. Finally, 60 patients were followed for one year. The one-year survival rate through the Kaplan-Meyer approach was 31%. The rate of one-year mortality was found with a significant association with underlying parameters, such as cancer (P = 0.008), cirrhosis (P = 0.04), trauma (P = 0.001), BUN ≥ 50 mg/dL (P = 0.02), Cr ≥ 1.2 mg/dL (P = 0.04), hypocalcemia (P = 0.0), and thrombocytopenia (P = 0.002). According to the MMSE scores, participants had normal cognition (46.7%), mild dementia (6.7%), moderate dementia (33.3%), and severe dementia (3.3%). The cognitive impairment showed a significant association with underlying parameters, such as pulmonary infections (P = 0.02), trauma (P = 0.02), and renal failure (P = 0.04). Conclusions: Assessment and screening for delirium is necessary in all older hospitalized inpatients. Cognitive measurement is effective to identify delirium, accelerate proper control, and decrease its negative effects. Family members should be trained and involved in care, particularly for monitoring of risk factors upon discharge.
