In older adults discharged from hospital, do postdischarge fall prevention interventions reduce falls? Included studies compared fall prevention interventions with no intervention or placebo in adults ≥ 60 years of age who were discharged from hospital to the community and assessed falls within 6 months of discharge. Included interventions were delivered or initiated in hospital or in the first month after discharge. Outcomes included the proportion of patients who fell, fall rate (falls/1000 person-d), and injurious fall rate (injurious falls/1000 person-d)... Keywords: Elders, Falls;
