Résumé : |
Objective To compare the use of fall prevention strategies by people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who do or do not fall. Design Prospective cohort. All assessments were completed between January 2011 and December 2011. Data used in this analysis were collected as part of an observational study that included baseline assessment followed by prospective counting of falls using fall calendars. Setting Veterans Affairs and university medical centers. Participants People with MS (N=58) of any subtype, aged 18 to 50 years, with Expanded Disability Status Scale score ≤6.0, recruited from MS clinics at the Portland VA Medical Center and Oregon Health and Science University and from the surrounding areas. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Measures included the occurrence of falls over 3 months and scores on the Fall Prevention Strategy Survey (FPSS) and the relations between fall prevention strategy use reported on the FPSS and falls. Results A total of 52 subjects completed the study. Of these, 33 (63%) subjects fell at least once in the 3-month period, and 19 (36%) subjects did not fall. The mean total FPSS score for the fallers was significantly higher than the nonfallers (mean + SD, 8.1+6.4 vs 4.0+4.1; range, 020 vs 015; P=.007), and FPSS scores correlated with monthly fall rates (ρ=.49, P=.01). A higher proportion of fallers than nonfallers used the strategies of turning on lights at home, asking others for help, and talking to a health care professional about fall prevention. However, both groups rarely talked to a health care professional about fall prevention or asked a provider to check whether any medications might increase fall risk. Conclusions People with MS who fall use more fall prevention strategies than those who do not fall. |
