Abstract
The risk of post-discharge fall-related injury is increased among older hospitalised people with an increased fall risk, according to the DFRI, especially those who had previous falls or unsafe gait. Although the DFRI tool is predictive, previous falls and gait are the measures that are most worthy of focus.
