From the registry
Approximately 24 to 40% community-dwelling older persons fall annually, of which 21 to 45% fall recurrently. Many factors contribute to the risk of falling, such as mobility impairment, medication use, environmental issues and risk behavior. Falls are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality and often lead to physical and psychosocial consequences. Falls and related injuries have a huge economic impact on society. Given its proven efficacy as shown by controlled trials, multifactorial falls prevention interventions are recommended as primary strategy. However, poor implementation in daily clinical practice leads to inconclusive results on clinical outcomes. Several studies show that implementation, effectiveness and context are linked. Context is a critical concept to understand variation in implementation and clinical outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively understand the context prior to implementation.To date, the context and tailored implementation are neglected in the majority of falls prevention research. Given this, this Belgian study aims…
