Abstract
People with dementia are disproportionately represented in injury-related hospitalisations, experience longer hospital LOS and have poorer outcomes. Ninety percent of hospitalisations for people with dementia were as a result of a fall, highlighting the importance of developing and implementing effective fall-related preventive strategies in this high risk population.
