This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
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.
Characteristics and effectiveness of fall prevention programs in nursing homes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
J Am Geriatr Soc. 2015 Feb;63(2):211-2113 randomized or cluster-randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis investigating the efficacy of fall prevention programs in nursing home residents. More specifically, this study sought to individually characterize the effects of single, multiple, and mutlifactorial interventions. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in the number of falls and recurrent fallers with multifactorial intervention programs, though no effect on total number of fallers. A multiple intervention program did not demonstrate any significant benefit in fall, fallers, or recurrent fallers, and single interventions related to training and education were associated with a significantly greater incidence of falls.
