چکیده انگلیسی
A fall risk index has previously been developed to identify fall-prone individuals in stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to validate the predictive accuracy of the index. The validation sample (n = 158) consisted of patients admitted to a specialized geriatric stroke rehabilitation ward. The index was scored for each subject, and the relationship between the score and falls was assessed. The index was then remodeled and cross-validated in the sample from which it was derived (model fit sample, n = 135). The total index score (0-11) was significantly connected with the time to first fall (hazard ratio, 1.22; confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.44). However, the classification of subjects into groups with low, intermediate, and high risk of falling could not be correlated with the time to first fall. A remodeled index contained 3 of the separate original index items. Its relationship to fall risk in the model fit sample was (hazard ratio, 1.82; CI, 1.38-2.40). The fall risk index showed some correlation with the fall risk among patients in stroke rehabilitation, but the results indicate that it should be modified to reach acceptable accuracy. A remodeled index showed a higher association with fall risk.
