original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effects of a multifactorial fall prevention program on fall incidence and physical function in community-dwelling older adults with risk of falls
Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2013 Apr;94(4):606-15, 615.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.apmr.2012.11.037. Epub 2012 Dec 6Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Chang discusses the effects of a multifactorial fall prevention program on fall incidence and physical function in community-dwelling older adults with risk of falls
616 community-dwelling older adults (65 or older) at risk of falling were recruited in this study to determine the impact of a fall prevention program on reducing the number of falls over a one year period. Patients were allocated to undergo a 3-month multifactorial fall prevention program, or to receive health education brochures as control treatment. Primary outcome analysis indicated that the fall incidence was not reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group. However participants deemed at a marked risk of fall did experience a functional benefit from the program.
